PPG Vibrance gold metal flake and straight black base for the stripe and emblem . I borrowed my friends flake gun to do it, you spray the clear and then shoot the flake onto the wet clear. There is flake everywhere!

Looks like a bass boat. I'm not a fan of flakes. You did a nice job though.

I love it! 10 coats of clear and it'll be done. What size flake did you use?
I'm a flake whore. I've got two pounds of flake on the way for my project, well, 8oz is for a different project, but none the less.
JRK and Forcfan - you might have missed it, but he went with the dry flake method vs. The wet flake method you guys are talking about. So there's not too much worry on getting his gun clear (should be easy peasy) and the only thing it does is shoot out dry flake.

Now order some gold flake vinyl to make your seat top out of, black vinyl for the rest. My CL has quilted gold metalflake vinyl kneepad covers by a previous owner, I should do my seat to match...
Looks good. I prefer to shoot a nice wet color base, dry shake the flake on and then clear the piss out of it. Less cleanup, less flake wasted as it goes only where you want it too. If you add some 60s style ground glass to your final clear you will have dudes lined up begging for you do spray their tins... Nice under the table pocket money my friend, cash only, couple hundred bones per item.
