Saw this at a show the other weekend. It was covered in a ton of big silver flake, then shot with enough clear to be smooth again. Double cool was that they’d carefully ground the chrome plating off, leaving the copper underlayer(and painted the stainless pieces to match).

This is the grown up equiv. of sparkly velcro sneakers. They sure made you feel cool back when you were little.

I ... I don’t even know what to feel. I think it would be better without whitewalls.

Photos don’t do it justice. The depth of flake was truly nuts. As a piece of sheer aesthetic excess it was beautiful.
Just wait til this afternoon when I post the other bit of madness from this show.

The flake looks amazing. It is everything else that confuses me.

What the flake!
Flake paint can be a bit costly as it requires a lot materials. There’s one ‘59 Cadillac in Finland that has been coated with 40 kgs (88 lbs) of flake and clear coat. It looks pretty wild too.
