A Father-Son Team Achieves an Award-Worthy Look
Hi Matt and Lyndi,
This is my son’s girlfriend’s Explorer that he painted with your Rose Red metal Flake this past weekend. It turned out great, while it was out in the yard drying many friends stopped by to admire it. I must say it is a real eye catcher, to say the least. It was sprayed over a black base coat. We have several more projects lined up to use your pearl paint and metal flakes on.
Please give the credit for this paint job to my son, (Shad) he is the one who actually painted this one. Now for the details. He has three coats of flake on the explorer, (2) heaping tablespoons of flake per quart of clear, reduced to about 50%, shot through a Devilbiss gun, at 45 PSI We still have enough flake left from the (one) jar to mix up one more quart of paint. The coverage is very good with just the right amount of black showing through. Neither one of us has sprayed flake before, but after this job, you can bet that we will be using it more often. It’s easy to use and the results are incredible. Once again, feel free to use the picture, we are happy that you thought that it was good enough to use on your site. I know we are well pleased with the results.

This customer’s story highlights the incredible transformation that our pigments can achieve. He even made sure to give credit to his son, Shad, who performed the custom paint job, which emphasizes the ease of use and quality of our pigments, even for those who are new to custom painting. His detailed description of his application process shows you how to achieve a similar multi dimensional and unique look, with a proper base coat, and then our high-quality metal flakes layered on top. He also proves that just a small amount of product goes a long way, and his jar of Rose Red Metal Flake still had enough left over for another full quart of sprayable material.
