metalflake finished

[yustin]

Here's my girlfriends new shiny rat, my first attempt at metalflake.
Started with this, the shady lady.

after hours and hours and days and days of spraying clearcoat and a little building, I got this...

Thanks for lookin.

Outstanding. Must look good rollin' and twinklin'.

 

[tartosuc]

very nice! what did you use?

metal flake paint? or did you add some flaking stuf on top of paint and respray?

 

[yustin]

I used lil daddy roth trippin flake, "Juicy Pink" flavor, rattle can clear, a salt shaker, and a lot of time. It probably could have used another twenty coats of clear but I got impatient.

You've got one sweet bike there, now you need some of electra's pink wall tires to make it all girl. Great job on the paint!

 

[yustin]

Hey, thanks a lot guys. yeah those pink walls were definitely on my mind from day one.

 

[bad news]

i like the way you did this alot how many onces did you use to do the covering ?

 

[karfer67]

never thought of using a salt shaker. so i asume you used some sort of pink base then shook the flake on. i know the secret to good flake is how much clear you use. did you sand every so often, or just coat and coat till it looked flat?

 

[Dangler]

Very cool!

 

[ricksterr1221]

Nice. ;D
