I’m not a professional painter

I’m not a professional painter. But on a motorcycle tank, oil tank, and side cover, I did a beautiful job. TheTropical Glitz base coat with the Spraymax 2k Glamour, turned out very nice. Usually I have sags and runs, but this stuff is really easy to spray.

Berry Blast Metal Flake

Samples of flake for my current project (1948 Chevy)

Not quite the color i wanted on my current paint project but it will be used on some of the pinstriped art panels i paint/pinstripe. The purple berry blast prismatic flake i also got is just what i was looking for! As always Tropical Glitz had what i was looking for with good prices and fast shipping. Will be ordering a larger quantity of the purple berry blast prism flake soon.
