Anyone used metal flake?

[LaurenceGough]

Hi guys,

I saw this on a car today and was wondering if anyone had done a heli canopy with it? I love the effect but I am a sucker for sparkling things...





Cheers

Metal on the canopy surrounding radio equipment.... Would it interfere?

Looks cool though.

Yep, I had it on my first heli



Also had it on my scooter ;-)

Well it's hardly any metal and people are using full carbon canopies which have got to be worse ok .

Mylee it doesn't show your canopy when I click your links, just canopy covers.

Used it years ago on custom cars when it first came out, now the particals are much finer!
The flake is expensive and you put it in the laquer coat but then you have to laquer over the top and keep flating to give yourself a even coat
you also need a gun with a specific nozle to allow the particles through
Lots of practice to get the right presure and paint feed
I have some red if you want to try it pm me and i can post you a small amount

Here you go Custom Paint | Pearl Paint | Chrome Paint - SpecialistPaints.com
These are the guys I get my aerosol paints from for my canopies from.

They do just about any effect paint you could wish for.
Just remember with any paint, you only get out what you put in and my second rule , less is more !

Have fun
