How to Use
- Apply your desired basecoat and allow it to flash according to the paint system being used.
- Mix .008 flake into a compatible intercoat clear or appropriate flake carrier.
- Stir thoroughly before spraying.
- Apply light, even coats until the desired flake coverage is achieved.
- Stir or agitate periodically during application to help keep the flake evenly suspended.
- Finish with automotive clearcoat to protect and bury the flake.
Professional Tip: The basecoat underneath the flake can dramatically change the finished appearance. Always spray a test panel before committing to your final color combination.
Larger amounts of flake or heavier coverage may require additional clearcoat, leveling, wet sanding, and polishing to achieve a smooth final finish.
