- We receive a lot of questions regarding our flake matches. The proper way to spray it; the reason why to purchase a basecoat matching the flake; and if the metal flake comes inside the paint. We decided to make this video in order to share with you all some valid information about our products.

How long should the basecoat dry before flake spray?
I order the rum runner with the platinum plus metal flake should I still spray with inter coat or spray the rum runner over the flake
Can I get more information on that midnight blue, what base is used on it and what else do I need to get that results
What flake size can you do with the 1.4 tip with your flake
Would love to see your onyx like the blue here
I bought your intercoat. I have a mini dry flake gun. Those were dry flakes then cleared?
I’m looking at doing some deep purple flames on my challenger and I want to add flakes. Will your base handle.008 & .015 and should I purchase 1 or 2 quarts?
Looks awesome. Do you ha e any flake you can spray through an airbrush? 0.5mm needle
I bought your intercoat for dry flaking .004" flakes for a Harley Logo on gas tank. How many coats if intercoat ill i need to spray over the dry flakes? Thanks
Can you tell me what flake and what purple I would have to get I like the full coverage purple and dose that one have the black base coat
Are there any forums or resources for learning how to find your own custom metal flake color? I have a light blue car, but wanted to do a light blue metal flake paint job for my car!
Referring to the base coat portion of the video would you get similar results with your spray can flake ?
Quick question I’m looking at the sunburnt base coat with matching flake. So the way I would shoot that is step one grey primer, then base coat 3 coats, then matching flake mixed in intercoat 3-4 coats, then clear
Check out our website Www.TropicalGlitz.net for more colors but you have the process correct.
How long does your shipping take
Do u carry a black base coat with black flakes to match?
What flake size are these?
Is the flake glitter? I don't know Anything about paint just wondering
CAN YOU USE THE FLAKES WITH EPOXY
Is that the 4oz can of flakes?
looks like the flake really pops on the black base more then any other color/shade of base. I have a old Manco 3 wheeler I want to paint with a purple heavy/big metal flake look. Basically like it looks on your example with a black base. Problem is the body is made out of ABS plastic. I know the look i want can be done with many layers but from what you say, i can get the same effect with your stuff and less layers, that sound about right? and what needs to be added or done so the paint lasts on a semi flexible material like abs? any specific flex additive? do all coats get the flex additive as well?
You should use adhesion promoter on the plastic.
Hey I had a question say I wanted to do this as a test on a piece of my motorcycle ,I wanted to do the royal purple 100% dark ,but didn’t have all the equipment needed would there be a option to do it by aerosol can only ?
Correct
I wanted to do luscious purple but wanted to do a little bit of metal flakes to reflection off the sun what color do you think would go best with it I was thinking of the black onyx
I hit um up about the seductive cherry, they dont have flakes that match perfectly like the ones in this video for the seductive and luscious paints, so youd have to paint a spray out with the purple then find the closest flake to it if you wanna match it, it really depends on the look your going for, when you get up close youll see little specks of the onyx contrasting with the purple but do a spray out and if you like it go for it
So im looking at your luscious toffee what would be the matching flake for it? Also im going to purchase your flake gun with the 2.5 tip as i just seen you your recent video you shot with the spray gun. This video help me determine i do want 100% coverage.
Fudge brownie
Cant wait to hit my chopper w this stuff
I would like to know what metal flake do you offer that matches that aqua blue poster behind you. I’ve been trying to find a turquoise/aqua blue color like that! Hopefully it comes in .0015.
Hello we have many aqua/turquoise color options on our website. Please check it out at www.tropicalglitz.net .
Hey I have a 72 Chevy Impala and I want to paint the undercarriage comic black with the all the flakes can I just used the cosmic black base coat or will I need your candy black paint
Cosmic Black is a candy basecoat. You would just need to spray over black.
where do the snowflake/jingle shells/birthday cake type flakes come in? is that only going to be used with a white base and color? can you mix them w darker colors?
Those Metal Flakes are semi transparent so you can spray them over any color and they will blend well
I really like the look. I have a Chrysler purple base coat that I’d like to use and not go to waste. Would it look bad if I used one of the purple flakes over it? Or is it crucial that everything matches?
flakes do not necessarily need to match the base coat, sometimes flakes and paint compliment each other and just look good even though they do not match.
Is their a black flake to shoot over a black base.. so that paint still looks black but with some sparkle
