Metal Flake paint is one of those hot rod, custom, and lowrider touches that just hits home when done right. There are so many ways to use it, and the weight or size of the flake can be varied so much that the effects are truly amazing. I’ve always wanted to own a panel painted lowrider, gasser, or street freak with big heavy flake and lots of details. But painting panels and flakes is not for the timid. Flake, especially when you get into the heavier stuff, can be a challenge if you don’t use the right gun and tip. But with the right tools and techniques you can lay down some big flake and deep clear to get that unmistakable custom look.
If you want to know how to lay down some heavy flake of your own, watch this video first and then let us know what you are going to paint.
This little Pinto wagon is going to be something special for sure, as it has all the right gasser goodness.
