what about using a flattner on big flake? has it been done? i love this paint job, but wonder if it was toned down a little if it would be even better...
Thanks, Nailhead. I've been thinking about scallops for quite a while now and even had some taped out on the car for a little while. I just go back and forth between the idea of some mild scallops or all-out, like you seem to be referring to. I'm hoping to at least have the roof scalloped and flaked before heading to the Roundup in April... and change the wheel color, along with the red in the side trim.... possible going with OE chrome wheels.

damn Chaz, she must weigh more then she looks, cause she's realy making the back end of your ride sit low! I love flat/metalic colors, and would like to paint the roof of my '53 a gold metalic. Are these finishes hard to achieve? The roof is currently DP90 over the facotry paint, how should I prep the roof for paint? I think I'll have to sand all the black primer off, in order to achieve the color I desire
I used Hot Rod Flatz Carnival Red: Not the best picture, but it is a metallic flat single stage. The 1 gallon kit did my entire outside and door jambs with a bit left over for touch up.
You would just about totally lose the effect of heavy metalflake without it bring full gloss. What a shame it would be to make that flake even the slightest bit flattened! One day, shiny paint will become king again, I hope. After all, shiny paint is the original traditional paint for a custom!
...oh i pretty much agree but i was just wondering if it's been done and if it looked good, or like total crap.
