    Great video. Also amazing customer service, made some mistakes on my order and you and your team had no problem fixing it for me. Been recommending you left and right. Just got my paint in, can’t wait to lay it down on my project car. Thanks for doing what you do!

    What color base coat would u recommend for your starlight metal flake? Would it be okay to mix the flake with clear coat?

    Any way you guys can make a video on your black onyx flake I think it would look really cool just not sure

    Thank you. I'm interested in buying your product. What happens when you mix color flakes with a different color paint?
  • @stellaroid
    this looks absolutely stunning. question: I'm spraying blue interstellar pearls and starlight over my hok basecoat, would you recommend mixing the pearls and flake together or lay pearls down first with flake over top? I'm going for a subtle look with both the flakes and the pearls. thanks!

    My Gosh I have never seen so much flake go in 1 cup and not have any trouble spraying it because it sprayed amazingly, how? You had to have been using a large tip! I'm going to ask a huge favor, before mixing the flake but after telling us what you are going to do could you please go over what type of guns and tips you are using in detail, tip size, needle size, psi you are using and the products you are using names of what you used and why you think this mix is the best and every type of gun you are using and what is the psi set on the gun please!Β  Also could you go through the top of the line guns to use for each process like priming, colors, metal flake and do you use the same gun when you use intermediate clearing and top coat clear and if you could use and gun brand and type what would it be and break down why. Β  Thank you so much!
