    When spraying flake, do you need to use a special gun? I was talking to my neighbor about thinking of using flake on the 55, and he said I would need a special gun to spray it with.

    Depending on the size of the Flake,you might need a larger nozle.

    Old skool flake makes a gun that im thinking about buying that puts it on dry over wet clear. I never liked the idea till i tried one. but i still like to put some flake in the clear for a couple coats cause it gives you depth that you cant get in one layer. but you can spray most flake through a 1.7 tip but you have to remember that you are also putting alot of clear on at the same time because of the big tip and runs in flake SUCK to fix [​IMG]
