Bronze Metal Flake
These Metal Flake work with any base clear, blender or binder for a fantastic paint job!
How Much Do I Need?
Our Bronze Metal Flake additives are very versatile and can be used in so many applications. Can also be called Brown Metal Flake.
What are these applications that make it so unique? We’ve listed these applications for you:
- Great for Airbrush, HVLP Guns, Brush on Applications, Powder Coating equipment, Dip Sprayers, Concrete Sealing, Leather wipe-on coatings, and Plastic Manufacturing.
- Micro Flakes are .004″ in size, and are the easiest to spray with no knockdown and easy to cover. They go around door edges and hood edges seamlessly. High impact without the work.
- Mini Flakes (.008″) are for people looking for more flash, and willing to work a bit harder.
- Bass Boat flakes (.015″) are for those who just plain want to get that 70’s big flake look and are willing to work for it.
- Flakes have a temperature tolerance of 400 degrees, making them fine under heat lamps and in Powder Coating Booths.
- A little bit goes a long way. When you use about a tablespoon per quart, “One Jar Does a Car.”
- Solvent resistant. Used in Automotive Paint, Nail Polish, Dip, Epoxy Concrete Sealer, Water-Based Coatings, Powder-Coatings, Fiberglass, and even Elmer’s Glue ®.
We now offer all sizes of flakes in many of our popular colors. We personally like the small flakes, because of the ease of use, but there are a lot of people out there who want larger metal flakes, so we are giving them to you.
Creating a great Bronze metal flake paint job is super simple with our flakes. Just choose your base coat (black is good if you want the paint to take on the color of the flakes), and add a heaping tablespoon of our flake to any clear coat (although we recommend a base clear for mixing the flake into, like PPG’s DBC-500, or HOK’s intercoat clear).
Keep in mind, that even though they are called “Bronze metal flake” additives, most of our flakes are made from special solvent-resistant polyesters that can withstand the chemicals in the clear coat. See our tips pages for more information, our download our instructional PDF. Remember, unlike some flakes that people dust onto wet clear-coat dry and spend about 400 bucks for 20 jars of flake to paint a single auto, our system is much more efficient. As we say around here, “One jar paints a car.”Visit our FAQ page or contact us for more information on our Custom Paint.
What makes this Metal Flake stand out from the crowd?
It’s been around for a long time. There’s just something special about seeing a product used from a long time and still hold up today. So what does this product really bring to the table? Let’s take a look.
- A Long Track Record. In a world full of new paint and new pearls, this is a great product that allows you to harken back to when we first started, while also giving a great look.
- Durability is a great way to showcase how much we care about this product. We have seen it used in the most harsh environments and hold up to the test every time.
- So easy to apply that you can do it in your own garage. Some people think it is expensive to get a custom paint job, and with our prices you’ll be paying a fraction of what the dealer will charge you.
Not only are all of our metal flakes completely compatible with plasti dip, we were the first to supply the dip companies with pigments. If you have any reservations about whether our products work in Plasti Dip, you should know that we were the pioneers who introduced Pearl and Pigment and Plasti Dip Pearls to the world.
We recommend as a starting ratio 1 heaping tablespoon of flake per sprayable quart of clear paint/binder. For a more translucent candy type of paint mix 1 bag to 2 quarts of sprayable clear. These are starting ratios and can be adjusted for your specific job. If you have any questions you can always contact us or visit our FAQs page.
