type of metal flake paint or glitter paint

[modelcarfan]

Hello all...

I have come across a couple of you tube videos with ideas of how to paint metal flake on the body of a model car.... I have some hesistation to try this ... I am wondering any of you all experienced doing the heavy metal flake or extreme metal flake work on body of cars?


I have come across a couple of videos and this one kind of convinced me to try one thing.. check this and let me know what you all think ?

I bought one of the bottle to do some experiment and see if it works.

If you all have any better ideas, drop in and would like to hear

Yes .. I’ve done bits and pieces oN the RACE project.. there’s all different sizes of flake depending on the size the project. I’ve done a couple 8th scale bodies with stunning success .. the flake is just another step.. I mix it in my clear and apply it over my color coat.. primer, base coat ifndoing Kandy paint , then flake in the first coat of clear followed by numerous coats of straight clear to bury the flake .. wait 18-24 hours and ultra-fine then buff .. waiting more
Than 24 hours makes sanding and buffing tougher once the clear fully hardness ..
