aeroxmatt Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Im wondering on how to go about using glitter and spray paint cans for my aerox panels. i have red glitter flakes that look the nuts, and the panels will be black so it would be red glitter on black.. but my question is.... Does anyone know what the best way to go about this is?? or has anyone tried it before with good or pony results ? like black on first, then glitter on so it sticks to the sticky paint then layers of laquer? im not sure on this... i need to paint it on the cheapish side of things hence spray cans,so i can then sell it to fund something else with a turbo as im quite broke at the mo :\ but any help or advice will be brilliant thanks.
kishan Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 add glitter flakes + paint of your choice + lacquire (sp) + air compressor that allowed to to spray paint = glittery paint job
aeroxmatt Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 cheers kishan, but if i put the flakes on first and sprayed the black over them, wouldnt the flakes turn black bacause of the paint ?
Moderator drewpy Posted June 16, 2011 Moderator Posted June 16, 2011 you can get 2 pack paints in metalflake. there is a company in sheffield who does them. very nice too I'm in work ATM so havn't got the link.
Leatherat Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Sounds like you want a Metalflake paint job, but can't aford it. Well, I'm afraid you get what you pay for. Do it yourself with rattle cans and glitter, it'll look like you made it in school for your mum! If you want to sell the bike to fund something else, spray cans are fine but for gods sake forget the glitter!
