Permalink DIY Metal Flake paint job

New Topic
Goto Page: Previous 1 2

Looking great! I'd be happy to have an orange sparkle guitar like that.

Wow!
This thing came out like a lollipop!
It's not totally perfect but only a trained eye would notice.
I may buff & polish after a long cure.
But for now it's done and getting assembled for use.

Outstanding! That came out very well. It’s a perfect amount of flake for that color.

I waited for at least a month after the final gloss coats to cure, then went into polishing steps.
Finally got it assembled and it's done!
There were plenty of times I had my doubts. And this was a result of high humidity during painting. But the final gloss was applied correctly in low humidity and I allowed proper drying time between coats.

Shiny, sparkly and orangish. Smile What’s not to love? Another Grand Slam from the Iceman.

This turned out awesome.

I was thinking of trying Tropical Glitz spray bombs on a project this summer, as I can get them from a supplier here in Ontario.
