if yours is like mine, at night with the street lights it looks like millions of tiny lil water drops.... its awesome! heres a few night shots.... again the pics dont do the amount of flake justice....





btw how do you get the flake to show up nice in pictures? think it might be my camera? its a crappy HP 3.0mp.


laters all! its bed time!

Here are mine with the flakes. There is only about 2 good ones where you can see it, but here they are:

Black House of kolor base red F20 House of kolor flake


rear seat before it was finished my hwole interior and trunk are also the same color its hard to show flake in a picture


from a distance it looks black with a red solid K on it but its all flake

I have heavy flakes in the paint but not all over the car. Those cars before mine are all insanely flaked and definately look nice.

My flakes are all in the flames with the airbrush work the painter did.

just as a note---spud 51's car will look even better once it is wetsanded and buffed up. the flakes look pretty good now, but once the car is all shined up, it'll look sick.

Here is a close up shot of Spud's car by the mirror:

did everyone else have a problem with the flake standing on end ? i have wet sanded twice and re cleared i think i've finnaly got it perfect

we didn't have that problem with Spud's car, but the flake we used was House of Kolor brand so maybe that had something to do with it.

mine is HOK as well I think its because mine was the thicker style maybe thats the reason

here are some of mine since the above didn't work!
