- A little bit goes a long way! One tablespoon per quart is typically enough – “One Jar Does a Car.”

We now offer all sizes of Flake in many of our most popular colors. While we personally prefer the small Flake because of how easy they are to use, we also realize that many people out there want a larger metal Flake, so we’re giving you the choice! Creating a fantastic Purple metal flake paint job is simple using our Flake. Just choose your base coat (black works well 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 (although we do recommend a base clear for mixing the flake into, such as PPG’s DBC-500, or HOK’s inter coat clear). Keep in mind that although they are called “Purple metal flake” additives, most of our Flake is made from special solvent-resistant polyesters designed to withstand the chemicals in clear coat. Please check out our tips pages or download our instructional PDF for more information. Our system is far more efficient than systems that require you to dust dry flake onto wet clear coat and spend 400 bucks for 20 jars of flake to paint a single vehicle. As we like to say, “One jar paints a car.” All of our products are compatible with car paint and are essential for achieving a truly exceptional custom paint job. Our full line can also be used as an epoxy pigment on tables and in resin applications. Our pearl paint and candy paint pigments are incredibly versatile and easy to use in any clear paint application. Give them a try! Use this in epoxy resin, polishes, sealers, or other coatings for a unique and truly custom effect! Not only are our additives fully compatible with vehicle wrap, but we were also the first to supply dip companies with pigments. If you’re wondering if our products work in vehicle coatings, be assured that we were the pioneers who introduced Pearls to the world. For years, we have been a trusted supplier of metallic paint pigments, pearl pigment, candy paint, and Temperature Changing Paint for all your custom paint jobs.
