Metallic Paint Flakes for Cars
Turn an ordinary paint job into an extraordinary one by stirring in Eastwood car paint flakes. If the base color you've been eyeing isn't available in a metallic formula, you can turn it into a metallic with some flake additives. Metal flake car paint does more than just look good — it also resists fading and bleaching better than standard paint while also maintaining its gloss longer.
The process for how to make metal flake paint is simple: just mix these flakes with any Eastwood urethane base coat, candy paint or our Intercoat Clear. Then apply the mixture using an HVLP gun. By creating your own metal flake spray paint, you'll have a custom finish that stands out at shows or in the driveway. One 50-gram jar of paint flakes is enough to make a full gallon of metallic paint, which covers most small- and midsize cars.
The Flakes You Want to Keep
We offer nearly a dozen varieties of Eastwood Super Flakes that add cool effects to paint. There's Molten Rubber black metal flake paint, vintage violet flakes, gold paint flakes and other impressive colors. Super Flakes are about 100 microns in size, which get you noticed without overwhelming eyeballs. To create prismatic rainbow effects and reflective color changes, go with a holographic metal flake paint job. Colors such as Clutch Fire Red or Sapphire Blue offer different looks from different angles so people can't stop staring.
