Title: Need a metallic gold a little short of metalflake
Post by Gyrobob on 06/26/12 at 07:18:40

For the paint jobs on the RYCA bikes, I want to have a silver metallic color edged by thin gold stripes. The silver I have is good, but the few metallic golds I have found are too fine.

You can just barely tell they are metallic. I need something with a little more metallic appearance,.. maybe between a subtle metallic gold and metalflake gold.

So,.. I'm hoping some of you can suggest a stock color that Duplicolor would have that has the metallic "speckles" just a little more obvious,. but not as obvious as metalflake.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll check it out. It's a lead, at least.

Go to an auto body supply shop and ask to see the sample book for House of Kolor paints. They have just what you are looking for. Very cool stuff.
By the way how's the build coming along?

Any good body shop supply should have 1950-70s custom color chips. That's where the good colors are to be found. And the good flakes, pearls, etc.

I was a custom painter for years, won't touch H.O.K. paints. They are like trying to spray water, really thin. They make really good additives, just use them in an easier to apply paint.

Duplicolor? Bomb can or the Hot Rod colors stuff in the ready to shoot cans? Which happen to be lacquer... Bomb can I'd be looking at Lexus or Acura color charts.
