Hell I always thought Mexican/Latino(a), Puerto Rican, or any other Spanish sided ethnicities had the custom touch. Whenever I see a custom paint job, airbrush, metal flake, candy, or metallic, it’s usually always done by them. Brilliant work I see. I’ve noticed over the years that certain races have certain skills, simply that no one else can master.
@@daveyrock6521 I mean, I wouldn’t say specific races have talents others don’t, but I’d say certain cultures are known for strong talents in different areas. Mexican and Latino culture has deep roots in low rider communities so I agree with the amount of talented painters coming from there is super high.
Another fantastic video man, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I'm learning so much from your content. So excited to start playing with flake,Kandy,masking, airbrushing ect.
Wonderful! This is the best flake spraypaint tutorial on youtube. Thanks a lot bro for the info about te nozzle- and compressor pressure settings. Much appreciated and see you next transparent paint job! 🤝
that was Great I have been doing paint and body for over 30 years and i have never tried to do metalflake really didnt know how to do it. thanks for showing this look forwad to the other videos on this, thanks again
So I did it, I sprayed flake. I had a lot of problems with my 2 mm gun clogging and the only thing I could do was pour out the flake back into my mixing cup between coats and spray a little solvent through the gun. Less than idea but it got me through the process. I’ve seen guys toss a couple nuts into the paint cup on their spray gun to get things moving. I used a much larger flake though. I sprayed Candy Shops .015 flake, looks good now with a HOK Kandy Apple Red. It was a serious process though.
Back many many years ago I sprayed several cycles and helmets with Metalflake! What I used was an good ole Binks #7 spray gun that had a cup that had an air powered magnetic paddle inside the cup that would keep the Metalflake suspended. I still have some of those boxes of Metalflake! Lol! Tom
Best spray gun ever in my opinion. Back in the day i painted with that gun ALOT of cars. I sprayed alot of Amer-flint on cars in Florida. The only paint that would last in the sun besides Imron. The 36sk head would spray metal flake nice. Very coarse flake. Heavy gun that a man had to use! I used to have a strong back and a weak mind. Now just have the weak mind. Lol
Best to use a siphon feed gun then you can put a couple of marbles in the cup and give it a slight stir at the end of your pass ad it will keep the metal flake suspended in the cup so it flowed out evenly.... you can also use low pressure and a dry metal flake gun or mix it with clear... Looking good ...
Thank u for showing step by step I'm a beginner I really needed this advice in could I use a single stage 60 gallon compressor ? they said it has to be a 2 stage compressor
Hey, can you do a video doing a PEARL over color flakes? I’ve seen videos saying candy with flakes but i’d like to see multiple layers of color in a paint job. I’m hoping 3 coats will still show the flakes underneath?
Hi can you give me mix ratio for gel coat with flake . Iam wanting to flake my bass boat I have a 3.0 gun for big flake gravity feed . Well I have 2 differnt ones thank you so much for any help . And psi
I thought you can only pass over it one coat with the clear coat mixed in with the metal flake ? I have a bass boat that I am getting ready to paint first time painting! .
Could you do metal flake without a gun? For small areas? Clear coat and use a sieve and dust it over like powdered sugar on a doughnut, while it's still wet, or is that just stupid?
@@PHARRAWAY I always learn something new, and want to do my own paint jobs on my vehicles, and it is completely different from stain and lacquer that I do on trim outs and furniture

Cant seem to find a video specific to my paint job. I have some old school square cut .025 white flake. Im told to use 2 different base colors though. Black or white. I want it to come out as white as possible without getting a dingy yellowish brown finish. Any suggestions?

Why did you use a Husky spray gun? Does the metal flake wear out the internal parts. I just got some DeVilbiss guns to use with some House of Kolor paints
I like watching your video on spraying metal flake. I'm spraying a flaked blue boat, sanded the surface and started spraying but I used a already mix lacquer from a can. The problem im having is the flake doesn't seam to flow with the lacquer to the surface. it seem to glog up in the spray can . I shake it and it just doesn't flow. I first I used a 1.8 needle . then I bought another air gun with 2.7 made for thick primer or metal flake. Still doesn't spray out like yours, only thing I can think of is the Lacquer Clear is not correct to use with metal flake.. any suggestions ? thanks
Luv your vids man thank you. I recently had a problem that the clear i sprayed over the flake lifted when i was taping the design??? It came off in a big sheet and the flake stayed there. Could you suggest what i did wrong.... Thank you
Thanks for your channel I’m too a beginner at painting and I’m learning on my own. I’m trying to paint white and Snow White flake but it keeps looking like it has specs or dirty ? Can you do a video on white base with Snow White flakes or reply to my comment? Thanks

Bro question for you Step1 1 I just sanded the 2k primer 2 can I just shoot the silver base Or do I need to seal it or add some kind of adhesive first thanks
I followed yours steps and I added about 4 coats of flakes onto a panel. I waited a couple of days and I am about to add the clear coat but the panel feels a little rough. Do you think I need to lightly sand it before adding the clear? If I do need to sand it,what grit of sandpaper do you recommend? Thank You for the quick response. Keep up the good work!
And the .15 doesn’t clog up the 1.7 nozzle? A while back, I was spraying .08 through a 1.4 and it would clog up. Thnx for taking your time to reply. I appreciate it.
I also purchased what I thought was a devilbiss 1.8 spray gun, and when it arrived, it turned out to be a Ntools spray gun. Just wanted to know if you’ve used those and if so, what you think about it.

Was taught to drop 2 nuts in the cup to keep shaking/stirring while you spray also.
That's on a pressure cup not a gravity cup
Love the color bro
Thank You brother
Awesome vid bro thanks for sharing your knowledge!

If I was going to shoot the flake on a boat. Would I need to sand in between coats ? Or just burry it with the extra coats of clear ?
you would need to sand
I had some old gun from my grandpa now I know ..it had a spinner in it .....long gone dang it
Great job man 🤘
When you were spraying the flakes were you waiting normal time like you would between clear coats? or is less or more wait time between coats?

Why did you use a Husky spray gun? Does the metal flake wear out the internal parts. I just got some DeVilbiss guns to use with some House of Kolor paints
I just don't want to use the good guns for something like that
I found that the flake is hard to clean off a gun hence a cheap gun helps
