Metalflake Pictures needed here!!!

Would badazz blue be the base? Or the metalflake?

 

I agree.......Flake is bad ass. I am going to flake the roof of my wagon green. Has anyone every used flake paint for pinstriping ? I would like to get that done but I question if it could be done decently.

 

base is usually flat black.you get the color from the flake.some people say to spray the base the color of the flake but it is really hard to see what you are doing.the flake is just mixed in with clear.i put 4 coats of flake then one more with the crushed glass to give it the pop and look of big flake.then three or four coats of clear overtop.

 

My 65 Malibu Deluxe surf wagon roof. YES its for sale.

 

Bttt in flake

 

I think that Orange Metal Flake would look good on this ride.

 

Here's mine but it never looks very flakey in pics but in sunlight wow !!!


This was taken with a flash



This was not



Some valve covers

 

MAN, i love this thread KEEP IT GOING!!! I dig the old school Flake and candy jobs. Nice work guys!
Heres my truck dash so far. (I was going to Just paint the trucks moniquer(sp), on the dash in opaque paint, but after seeing this thread it's gonna be candy!)

 

what brand wheels are these? ET?

 

The rims look like Supremes or Radirs. The tires I have no idea

 

sectioned 55 merc dash in my old A coupe and some kustom touches to the roof....love that gold candy flake!

 

Radirs, my friend has only a pair, and is looking for another pair. Anyone?

 

What exactly is "grushed glass"?

 

here was mine just sold today

 

Guess i'll contribute,... here is my first attempt on a helmet.

 

The sharp edge on the spokes look like ET wheels they are still available with either polished or natural centers.

 

i ment crushed glass.

 

bttt.

 

Any pics that show the complete bike. It looks great

 

My wife's car, done by Rolf in Richmond. The cell phone picture does not do it justice, the guy does great work.

 

great pictures ,but just wondering has anyone used glitter instead of paint store flake, would it work ? I have used flake but not tried the cheap dime store glitter yet, whatta ya think,

 

Here is mine......

 

It WILL melt and make a HUGE mess. I have tried

 

Will check that. I know Martin (who built the car here in Sweden about 10 years ago or so)

 

i flaked this tank on an old schwinn stingray i put an engine in awhile back hope you like it.

 

COOL Joe.......glad to see ya postin on here,now go flake that Rivie roof and the roof of the 63 comet your sister got..

 

I did a helmet that way.worked good
