Excellent exhibition. Now I'm going to mix .008 with .004 also.

I use that mix more than any other.
Strange how this was recommended to me after I made a vid showing Magnetic Nailpolish for painting 1/24th RC rigs. :) Not sure whats its flake size is but its perfect for such tiny lil rigs. This was an awesome show of each size my dude. Very kewl paint job on that fender!! WOW!!. Id like some of that .25 for the 1/10th scale rigs if it could come in 2 colour combo like that nail polish :) Guess a guy could blend it and make some unique looks, or layer it even.

Thanks. I have another video that is the tank and back fender that matches that front fender. They make the flake in about any color you want. I did a truck roof and mixed colors. That’s in another video. Used copper and hunter green mixed equally over a black base.
Fender is awesome

Yea. For sure.
Would .004 be about the size used in metallic paints? I'm guessing that in bought metallic paints the flake is just silver no color?

A little smaller in metallic paints I think. Metallic paint is really really fine. Like .001/.002 I would guess. I have seen some .002 flake available. That’s a good question. I would assume it’s just silver.
Was that a ½ pound bag of flake you had there?
