Oh man, that's a rabbit hole.... I did not use a dry flake gun, just a giant 2.5mm nozzle sprayer. All the paint, flake, clear, and flake sprayer were bought from Little Daddy Roth Flakes. I then just bought a cheap Lowe's gun for the clear. Pretty simple stuff, even for someone like me who has never used a true spray gun before. Here's a bunch of process pictures, but you can also find all these pictures with some break downs on my personal Facebook page if you want some more info: Robert BasseAny pictures of the work in progress? Pretty please with sparkles on top?
Did you use a dryflake gun? What’s your set up?
I really want to do some heavyflake finish! I’ve already spent tons of hours down the YouTube custom paint and flake rabbit hole.
I’d love to see a blow by blow with commentary.
Best looking Ric yet!
Looks like the pictures are uploading in reverse order...But the process was paint, tape, paint tape, over and over again. Although the picture is pretty bad, the purple and silver pre-flake does look really cool as well.
Word of advice: Don't use different layers of flake. If you flake, do one solid layer and if you want different colors, use a candy. Taping between flake layers and trying to not get build up was quite a pain.


I be likin' it! Good job sir
