I personally think the effect is way too strong. I would go insanely low pigment load, maybe 5 grams of microflake per gallon, and mix in some nice black pearl to darken it, to spread out the flake more, to fully get the galaxy effect. You could try this on a speed shape, just to see how it would look.

The more flake you add the lighter it makes the paint because you have more reflective surfaces. I think you shouldn’t have added the last 2 bags. It would have given you more dark space in between the flakes giving a better “Galaxy” effect.

As a professional auto painter with 40 years experience I would call it an experiment. The biggest issue is the spray gun that uses old HVLP technologies to spray a car . That type of spray gun came out in the early 1990's that was introduced by 3M. It was a green plastic gun and hose and we called it the garden hose. I tried it once and is sucks. It sprays the paint like a house paint system and globs it on to the panel with out enough atomization to break up the paint into a finer pattern. I painted many street and show cars and motorcycles and would have not let it go looking like that. It needed to be color sanded and at least 2 - 3 coats of clear put on it. Then color sanded and buffed.

I think it would give more of a space effect if your pigment load wasn't so high. I would have gone with half of what you used. Putting a layer of clear between coats would give a nice depth effect, too.

I once read a sci-fi story where a ship intended for special operations had, among other things, a top layer of paint meant to be visually indistinguishable from the stars behind it. I was hoping to see that, even the really weak mix of just one bag might have had that effect over the black base.

Or do half pigment load, spray, an empty clear load, another half pigment load, and then empty clear again. A darker black base would probably help a little, too - or, as someone else said, purple.

Needs to be glossy if you have that much glitter or use less and keep matte. I would love to see you do something similar with a pearlescent look

I absolutely Love this! You mixed it perfectly and it looks fabulous on this car!! Thanks for sharing with everyone and please keep up the incredible work!!!

Definitely a solid 5 for wide color spectrum coverage! As far as going from black to purple not so successful, more like a dark red to thtu purple to a blue. Loved the final product!!!

I would be very curious to see this with about one/half the flake that you put in. I think a lower "pixel count" on the flake would leave more black between each flake and would give you more of a galaxy effect. Great video as always - fun and interesting to watch!

I think the pigment load was perfect when it was 20g per gallon and the flake was spaced out more. That being said I *do* like it. I'm a huge fan of things that are "black with a twist" (like Cosmic Black). I'd give it a solid 4 but with a lower pigment load it could totally be a 5.

This is exactly how I want my car painted. I like it. In my opinion it has just enough black and the galaxy tone came out perfectly. Good job guys.

It definitely needs tons of clear coat but I love the color it's throwing I wonder what it would look like over a purple base?!?

I agree with other comments about less flake being preferable. Would also like to see it on a dark blue or purple base, or maybe even a black, blue, and purple fade as the base.

I used to work at the drive thru at a bank and saw 2 cars with similar...one black, one deep blue... I like this look better with less glitter...so it looks more like a night sky/galaxy 🌌🌌💫

I agree i give it a 3/5 not due to quality only because it didnt match what i expected. Still an awesome color. I can see people enjoying this color even though I felt let down. I think something like metal containers in your garage would be an amazing look. Toolboxes and metal tables. Things of that nature.

I think you overloaded it. About half that amount would have been cleaner and clearer. Sometimes less is more. If you could try it over a white or something just on the grey side of white, this could really POP!

I liked the pour of it more than the final product and likely bc it was obviously more glossy when wet versus dry. Either put a glossy layer on top so that sparkle really comes out more or put less pigmet if you intend on keeping it matte.

It came out very saturated and it still looks good. I agree with previous comment about making look like space. If your going for space it might make sense to mix different flakes to create more color dimension.

Florescent neon pink with this and ADD HOLOGRAPHIC MOTHER OF PEARL!!!❤❤❤❤

I definitely have to agree. Having less pigment gives it more room to shine. The way this was applied to the BMW makes it look really busy. Would have this on my car tho 100% bc it's unique

I saw something similar way back in the 80’s, the flake wasn’t as intense as you have. Devilbiss did a special paint cup for the old JGA suction gun, just for painting flake, it had a flapper inside that would agitate the flake, I have a NOS one somewhere. Alternatively, chuck some 3/8 bearings into the bottom of the cup, it helps to stir up the flake like a rattle can.

Ive watched a few of your shows and i think this galaxy color is cool AF! Best color yet! I paint and the best part of my art, the most therapeutic is creating color. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

That looks amazing

I actually like it. It's one of those "stealthy" ones that doesn't really pop at a distance, but once you get close you can see all the color and it looks neat. May look into doing this for my daughter's car since she loves galaxy themes so much.

I think it’s about twice what you needed, but spray and learn, right? Great video, as always, and thanks so much for the demos!

This is right up my alley. Black but a little something extra

Maybe I'm a little bit mental, but I kinda want to see this flake mixed with a super-reflective micro-flake... possibly on musou black... not sure what base color would be best. Possibly on top of alien green mixed with glow-in-the-dark pigment powder. But I'm occasionally demented like that.

Maybe if you mixed this with the Venta Black that would get closer to the result on their website, would love to see that. It doesn’t really pop, it has too much, and too dense sparkle. I’d give it a 3

It's beautiful and totally galaxy!

That looks amazing. How could you not love that?

I can see that there is a lot of color reflecting off the flake, and overall I like the spectrum of colors its giving off. My question is that if you maybe would have used less, like maybe 1 bag/gallon, allowing the flakes to lay flat on the surface and ultimately not atop each other to give a more uniform color refraction,and then apply more layers for more coverage, then maybe the colors would be more like a color change chameleon effect, as opposed to the full color spectrum reflections at the same time?!?

2.5 It's all right for what it is. What I don't like is that you have to get up so close to really see any of the shimmer and the colors in it.

I still love the video where you painted the car in musou black with the hypershift top coat. That was an epic result in the end 👌

Galaxy would look really nice on a motorcycle 😊 oh and it's a 5! I'd like to see less bags used. I'm curious if you could do 1, 2, 3 spray samples. See what each looks like. Beautiful color 😍

This reminds me of the Carman Ghia I bought off my Uncle's used car lot. It was mostly purple but the paint shop used the remnants of every color metal flake that they had. There was purple, gold, silver, candy apple red, green, blue and maybe a few others. I loved that car.

Psychedelic man! I too had a car like that, a Ford falcon four door.

I kinda like it, and I honestly didn't think i would but but it has that wild 5ft 10ft 20ft effects. From 5 ft you see solid individual colors and from 10ft it blends together great and almost gives it the shimmery holographic effect and from 20ft the colors blend together to give it a sparkly satin effect.

I think it looks great!! Need to get my truck repainted and this would be great.

I think half the amount of flake followed by 3 or 4 coats of clear, followed by a cut and buff would look amazing. Maybe it looks different in real life, but on the TV it looks kind of a matte black with sparkles that appear to be grainy like 320 grit paper.

The best part of these videos are the close ups of the vessel while it's being mixed. The best view of these colours in action.

I was also thinking of a midnight blue base. Or maybe a cobalt or indigo blue base, whichever is the darker of those 2 blues. Clear coats between layers sounds killer. And fewer bags of flake. I don't know anything about paint for cars but was wondering if the flake products ever have different sized flakes mixed together or would that clog the sprayer or cause to much texture?

I agree with what most have said about going with less flakes having more of an appeal than the end result. This makes me think of the texture black sand paper. But it still looks decent.

I love this, I'm a sucker for rainbows and glitter. I love how it lays out the rainbow properly, instead of having the effect scattered. I do recognize that this effect will be better in person as it's trick to film

I'm here because I'm looking for lure painting. I watched the video;I have no clue from car painting, but you guys are definitely making a good job there.

This would be a 2 for me, solely because the flake is too dense. The thing about galaxies is they're mostly empty space, so the effect you were getting at first where the stir stick was mostly visible was on the right track. You just had to remember that the transparency would be filled by the black base. That said, I don't think I'd have even liked it that much then because it was more colorful than I'd have wanted, but definitely worth the experiment.

I wonder what a pigment like this would look like over a galaxy artwork base instead of a pure flat black base. Perhaps even with uneven coatings (as in more focused on the colored parts of the galaxy art base and only sparse "stars" over the rest of the car). I understand it's a lot more work/involved than just an even coating, but just imagine...

I think it was a bit overloaded. The 1st test seemed fine to me. Everyone has individual impressions though. Also, would love to see this over a super dark purple or super dark blue.

First car paint I've ever seen that had texture you felt you could touch, and feel.

oh that is STUNNING! it looks like proper oil slick, LOVE IT!

I fell like youtube video compression leaves a lot to be desired but still looks pretty cool. Probably way nicer in person. Pigment load unnecessarily high. I enjoy a black car with a hint of flake or shift. But hey, that is what experimentation is all about! Love that you are able to provide this to the community.

if you really want a galaxy look start with the black undertone as dark as you can get it. And then use an almost clear coat with maybe 10 or 20 grams per gallon of that pigment. It will spread out the stars in the night sky and make each twinkle just a little brighter

The picture you guys showed from the website is like the most stock of stock pictures for that particular glitter / pigment. I have seen that same image on so many different websites especially wish and Temu.

You accomplished the effect you wanted. Looks great

Great video! This reminded me of a window tint that looked almost just like this that people used in the 90's

3. I dont love or hate it. Super subtle compared to my initial expectation of the flake. I think it would be cool in a Chromacoat or in a black cherry or a maroon. But to really pop, maybe do a 50G/Vantablack combo?🤔 And I wonder if the Vanta would eat the flake? (Future projects 🤷‍♂️)

I like how subtle it is...very nice...love black!!

Gorgeously subtle.

I use mica shift powder a lot in my art work. I love this!

I think half that load along with a matte clear coat with and without the Galaxy flake done in stages to add depth. Would be gorgeous

Rating it 5 because I've already sprayed my truck this same before seeing the video and yes I still like it the good part about the holographic flake is you still get that effect over other colors better than most I think when not doing full cover love your channel btw I've gotten and used a lot of ideas from you guys

I think that of all the colours that you guys have used so far have been nothing short of amazing, but this colour has got my imagination running in all directions at once, and if I could spray my car this colour, I think that I would be the envy of all the neighbourhood in our town.

I would love to see this at nighttime, with city lights, maybe the sparkles comes out better. I mean, i see it with the nailgloss i have, some of it looks better at night with the lights shining over it. Btw, i ❤ sparkles and this combination with the M3, beautiful!🥰

What was the cost per bag and the cost and grade of clear how many coats of clear on top of mixed?

I did the same on my snowmobile, build up pure clear on top, sanded 800-1200-2000-3000 and polished. Completely different. Like diamonds.

looks lovley, but i dont know much about this but, it should be polished abit?

I like it. I think the less flake the more shine the more flake you add gives it a satin. Finish but still very cool. I d like to see a metallic root beer with copper

Hi Fonzie, it's definitely a 1 for me as it's an over kill of sparkle, shame really as it could've turn out spectacular in every sense. But another great video to watch, keep it up guys 👍

I'd love to see this over a dark blue or purple base. Could definitely benefit from some clearcoat to give depth and kill the texture, but looks great. Also, why is the roof of the car always masked off when you start spraying? (4/5)

Reminds me of an old-school fishing boat hull. Would probably "dilute" the # of flakes.

just a thought how many clear top coats did you put on it. i would put two clear coats and do another coat of the galaxy pigment and then do another 1 0r 2 coats of the clear top coats to give more depth and perception of depth to the galaxy. Also put some planets,moons, asteroids on the first cover of galaxy pigment to give that depth lol. On the whole about 1-2 from a distance and maybe 4=5 on the current cover

Looks amazing, but definitely worth another try
