How To Spray Metal Flake Using The Flake King 1000 Dry Metal Flake Spray Gun 

Looks awesome, nice technique with the layers. Thanks for sharing!

Wow 🤩 that looks beautiful! Nice job and thanks for sharing!

Never heard of a dry flake gun before but it definitely looks like a really great alternative for me whenever I'm asked to do a flake or heavy metallic finish for one of my guitars. I usually groan inwardly when a customer wants flake/metallics as I just know how much of a pain in the hole it is when it comes to cleaning the gun and pots out after. Keeping the flake separate from my clear gun sounds like a gamechanger for me. Thanks for this clip!

Wow what a great system and I love the finished article looks amazing . I think it would make an awesome giveaway so that’s a great idea !!

That’s a great video, thanks for posting. The timing is perfect as I’m just waiting delivery of the airbrush version of the Flake King. I’m only a hobbiest so I think it’ll be big enough for my needs. I’ve now subbed and will be checking out your other videos.

What an amazing finish...if I had that board I’d be proudly displaying that on my wall...great colour too!

Beautiful .! Y'all make it look so easy . A nice booth n equipment with plenty of room makes a huge difference , my little garage is a chore .

Bro thank you so much for posting this i ordered a complete flake king kit i have ben spraying flake in my clear and its a pain to clean up. It was a bit expensive being over 200 dollars but its definitely better than cleaning stuck flake on the floor 🤣

What an awesome job! I want to get into painting so bad. I’m obsessed with heavy metal flake I’d love to paint my Harley with it. I need to get a list together for guns and paint and such. Gonna have some time on my hands with this quarantine nonsense lol

Thanks for the video, very helpful 👍🏼

Great video and review. Thanks

Thanks for the video on the flake

Looks awesome mate

Love your videos. I learned a few things here. This is more my size of project. I build and spray guitars, as a weekend warrior. Not pro. Some conventional wood or auto finishes, and some wilder stuff like candies, chromes, colour-shifting paints, etc. I'd love to see anything involving these sort of finishes. My limitation is about 6 CFMs from a woodshop compressor. So your guns don't mean much to me. I need to use LVLP or touch-up guns. Oh well. Thanks for the 'training' Tony. Much appreciated.

hey tony, always up for a give away, great vid as usual and please keep em coming

4 years later, I'm watching this because I want to dry flake my car with black glitter. Thanks! Good explaination!

A give away is always nice.

Nice job, I tried the wet application and it worked but not very well but I am a diy er, il have a loom at the dry flake gun :)

Thanks , very informative for me, a beginer

Definitely should be a give away would look awesome in my shop office 😁😁 Anyway great work Tony.

Yes would be nice to have in my garage

Amazing mate ... Incredible work as always buddy ... A giveaway of a ws400 iawata would be amazing mate 🇬🇧🏁😁

Colored flake on colored paint is a fave. Been learning much about various sorts. Want to learn more b4 i go purchasing a bunch of equipment and destroying it on a couple of gas tanks.

That job looks beautiful yeser

that's a class finish.

Hi Tony I have a old ranger bass boat and the metal flake is faded and and in a lot of places down to the base flat color with no flakes over it . Does the gun you are using have a size of metal flake setting ? The flakes I have are 0.4 mm .

Thats beautiful imve been practicing i did my wifes car came out nice need a better gun but made it work

Should have left it gritty for grip, it is for standing on yeah! Nice job lets hope he dont slip of with the lovely polished finish

How soon after do you apply the dry flake? what is your preferred wait time or just shoot right away after applying a clear coat?

Wow that is awsome

Cheers Tony, painting my bike panels and not sure whether to use wet method flake gun. Looks better finish with the flake gun so I might buy one.

Super👏🏻

That's great Tony! If you were to add further graphics to that, say some airbrush artwork? Would you apply before your final flow coat or after?

Hi Tony lovely job you've done again, do you still use the quartz lacquer or do you prefer the roberlo?

Nice job, what clear/reducer did you use that let you smash it on without solvent pop? What kinda temps in your booth? Anyway great job!

Definitely a give away!!!

I would love my jag sprayed that colour ! Wouldn’t that look sweet 👍 hmmm ....now there’s a thought 🤔

Hi I live in Kenya. I am not sure if we can get the dry flakes in different colours here But if possible where can I get the dry or wet flakes from abroad

I justvstarted using an architectural coating that is very expensive,.(so I try not to make ANY MISTAKES)I use a 1.2 mm tip,.. no base coat, as the primer is epoxy,. but the topcoat is a 3 part,.. the paint dries rather fast,. and than its baked at 180⁰ ,do u have any tips to get a wet coat,without any of these miniscule flakes sagging,.. all metal is hung vertically,.. i tried to do multiple coats, low fluid,high air,.. a few came out great,.. but they reccomend applying 2wet coats,.. which DONT WORK due to sagging ,.. any tips on how to dial this in correctly, so I get no orange peel,or sagging,.. or any suggestions on how to adjust reducer with different temperatures,.. some days are dry,nice,.. others hot and sticky,. and sometimes 100% humidity . im a pretty good hvlp sprayer,.. but the booth,and fine flake architectural coating is all new to me

Hey Tony I have been searching for weeks for this color. Is it a straight metal flake clear coat? Black or gold base coat. I'm new to airbrushing and learning so much. Thank you. Where can I get this color. All tropical flake or no?

what size is this flake? thanks!

Doesn't this way uses a lot more material blowing it everywhere and blowing loose flakes off before coating again?

I would love to have for my daughter

Hey pal I have my joyner 650 buggy and interested in having it resprayed in flack gold will it look good after

This is so fn cool. Ahhhh guess I’m buying a flake gun.

What's the largest size metal flake you can use with this Flake King gun? I want to use a monster flake (0.25 particle size), but there is no information on the product page regarding max flake size. Thanks in advance.

Hey Tony, hope things are improving for you since our last chat, I know this is an old vid but wanted to ask about the flow coat, looked like you gave it one light coat then two heavier ones, is this the norm for you when flow coating, I just do the same as when clearing over base, with the 610 I give it two good coats then the same when flow coating, anyway great finish maybe one day I'll get something close to that!

winder if a guy could make one of those out of a normal hvlp or siphon feed gun

What psi are you just spraying the clear at? Does it change when spraying the flake already mixed in?

The dry flake looks Omazing.

Hi what lacquer do you use for the flake I currently use quartz liquid glass but am finding it dose not like to be applied heavy and I get bad solvent pop also trying flow coat and get solvent pop every time I try it pmp supplies said you was the best one to ask and maybe recommend something they do. Thanks Jon

What color is that an what brand flake

I've never used metal flake dry, what is like dry for a full respray,? For the stock car racing.? Usually the primer gun with binder or clear and flake, pressure up a bit .Gun an Extra 25mm back, go for even coats, then clear coat lacquer, ¾ coat then full coat.. Bake, Sand, Flo Coat or stock car ¾ coat 2 full coats Bake.... done

Fakes are very expensive I guess that's why they do not spray dry but the skateboard came out nice that way it had a lot of fakes and looked very nice good demonstration thank you.

They board in liverpool?

i would love to have it but i do cars and taxies std also. cant have that dry flake everywhere lol

Philipines here...

Just a question, what size jars does it take?

Great video😊 How large are the flakes in this video?

Is it ok to apply metallic flakes and flow coat the doors and bumpers off the car ?

How do I get one in the USA? I don't see any shipping options?

Hi just seen video this is awsome how big of flake can u shoot threw this gun i want to do my bass boat will it shoot big flake ? And can u shoot it with gel coat?

Super instruction. Fuck the skateboard, you should have a give-away for the flake gun.

Great Job on the green flake board. Absolutely stunning. I'd definitely like to put my name in the hat if your giving it away. My son would go Ape shit for that for Christmas. Thanks Mate.

Where to buy metal flakes?

Sort of works like a powder coat gun without the electrostatics.

Hi guys looking at man with a skill here , Great results m8! Can someone please recommend a body shop in Poole or Bournemouth ( Dorset) I had my R class 792 Color door repaired twice already and is stand out like a sore thumb! How to tell who’s good at this besides everyone saying their job is best in town, confusing. Apologies if a bit off topic . Thanks in advance.

I like your video very nice job sir Can you help me

When I sanded my Flakes some of them Turned Silver, Why's that's?

Shame if it actually gets used it'll need grip tape over that stunning finish!! Id keep it as an example of your work to customers

$5 backing pad?

Fancy painting my guitar?

Pretty cool but, you do realize that the entire surface you painted will be covered with grip tape don’t you? None of that beautiful green metal flake will show, except for along the edge of the board.

shame to put grip tape on that

NOT A FAN OF THE DRY APPLICATION

WASTE OF MATERIAL BLOTCHING AREAS ..UGGGH. SOMEONE INVENT A METAL FLAKE VACUUM !!!!

hell yes do a give away.
