Metalflake Pictures needed here!!!

When I was a kid , my nieghbor had a killer 36 ford pickup with a full house flattie , red metalflake paint with gold tinting.I have never got over how killer it looked. I have Metalflaked everything from tricycles for my kids to T buckets and just can't get enough.. Please send pictures of Metalflake stuff man, I need A fIX!!!!!!!!!

 

Here is my daughter's 67 GP I painted this summer. The flake does show very well in the pix looks more intense in person.

 

My last flake job

Hey! The copper green flake tank and fender were done by me. (first attempt at anything other than flat paint) Rattlecan model paint and rattlecan clear. Done about a year ago and has stood the test of time. Spills o plenty. Now to up it a notch and flake the roof of the 52.

 

You'll find plenty here.
