I've used it a couple of times now. It seems to like lighter coats with about an hour drying time between them.
Ya im going to try that but i think i need 1 more can for the flake how many do you use

I did a gold/bronze base fade job, one full can of All-in-one Daffodil Killer gold, two coats (half can) of Finkster Green pearl and two full cans of 2K clear (3 heavy coats).
Thats a real good job .... ya i was going to get a all in one can but the dude at mooneys said its better to do steps .... but now i see your job i didnt need to do it in steps

I think it all depends on the result that you were looking for.

Looking forward to seeing how this comes out!
Also interested to know how much it will cost all up once it is done, I know buying the set up for compressor spraying and a dry flake gun can be expensive, but once you have it, painting with flake is actually surprisingly cheap.
 
I wanna see how the Roth cans co e out, ive seen guys use it to flake car roofs.

If you wanna try shooting with a gun, Intercoat clear carries the flake nice, need a big tip for bass boat flake.

So if you wanna experiment, a harbor freight gun with a drilled out tip, and over thinned clear will get the flake on. Stay way back and just blow the flake on fast and thin coats - the clear is thinned way out so don't get a run, just mist it on as a flake carrier. Let it tack off each coat, then start burying it in regular clear.

Here's a budget clear, I've shot this companies paint before on budget car repaints. https://www.paintforcars.com/mm5/me...&Product_Code=clearcoat_aecc&Store_Code=PFC#0
