We now offer all sizes of Flake in our most popular colors. While we personally like the small Flake because of the ease of use, many of you like a larger metal Flake, so we are happy to give you that option. Creating a gorgeous Peacock metal flake paint job is super simple with our Flake. Just choose your base coat (black works best if you want the paint to truly take on the color of the Flake) and add a heaping tablespoon of our flake to any base clear coat (we recommend using a base clear for mixing the flake into, such as PPG’s DBC-500, or HOK’s inter coat clear). It is important to know that although they are called “Peacock metal flake” additives, our Flake is made from special solvent-resistant polyesters that will withstand the chemicals in the clear coat. See our tips pages or download our instructional PDF for more information. Our system is far more efficient than some systems where people dust flake onto wet clear-coat dry and spend around 400 dollars for 20 jars of flake to paint a single car. As we say around here, “One jar paints a car.” We recommend starting with 1 heaping tablespoon of flake per sprayable quart of clear paint/binder or per pound of clear powder coat. These are starting ratios and can be adjusted for your specific project. If you have any questions you can always contact us or visit our FAQ page.
