Looking at these pics makes me want to get him to paint me another body soon. Top

IceratzSurf Joined: Oct 22, 2022 Posts: 261	Posted on Nov 25 2023 07:50 AM Ok, so I am interested in jazzing up a Squier finish to maybe a sparkle glitter, or considering using a color shift paint. I plan to rattle-can the project and I will be happy with the results. Watched a lot of videos on this, but pretty good doing the basics on other things. Does anyone have experience using the Krylon color shift or the Rustoleum vs? Either of these 2 colors appeals to me. For glitter project I would prefer this awesome " coke bottle green" but can't find the paint in spray. Someday I will invest in a spray gun. Last edited: Nov 25, 2023 08:07:00 Top

The "coke bottle green" flake is actually the Sea Foam Green flake from TCP Global, but you're right, it's not available in a spray can.

IceratzSurf Joined: Oct 22, 2022 Posts: 261	Posted on Feb 12 2024 08:40 PM Here is a follow-up post of my completed sparkle paint job. Thanks to Herosandwich for the suggestions on the Roth Rattle Bomb products. I used Custard Pie with additional Kandy. It's awesome! And no matter how well I try to photograph it or video, it just doesn't capture the depth. I am officially in the sparkle gang! https://vimeo.com/912434884 Top

Turnip Joined: Mar 23, 2006 Posts: 30 Sykesville, MD	Posted on Apr 23 2024 07:36 AM Thought I would chime in with a few of my sparklies! A Dano Hodad, Oktober custom, and Gretsch 5230. The Gretsch used to be black, and I bought a can of holoflake glitter from Michael's and buried it in clearcoat.
