ive used thos ebay flakes before im allways painting scooters, 30g bag is about 7 quid, but i bought the other week 5x 30g bags of diff coloured hologram flake for 30 delivered,


the way i paint it is base coat as useal, mix up enough flake in laquer for a quick over dust coat then voat a couple normal clear coats over the top, does need a good flat though to mop up nice, try to base the flake for a colour your doing, as when the suns not on it the flakes just look whitey silvery and crap lol, so use a red holo flak on a red base etc for best results

max 60 grams max of flake per litre i find, but for a car dust coat ill do 20 grams in a half litre and thats fine, just take a little step back and really fine dust the flake on if know what mean


i use a devilbiss gti with 1.4 tip, i get on fine with 200 micron flake
