  • Usage Guidelines

    Preparation: Ensure that the surface is coated with a wet layer of clear or other chosen medium.

    Loading: Fill the 32oz cup with the desired metal flake.

    Application: Open the air valve, point the gun towards the surface, and apply the flakes evenly. Use the different tips as needed for varying flake sizes.

    Control: Adjust the air pressure and distance from the surface to achieve the desired coverage and effect.

    Clean-Up: After use, clean the gun thoroughly to remove any residual flakes and maintain optimal performance.

    Note: For best results, practice on a test surface to familiarize yourself with the application technique and to achieve the desired finish.

  • Key Features

    Versatile Application: Capable of handling various sizes of metal flakes, including Tropical Glitz Platinum Plus and Mercardo Crushed Glass.

    Efficient Design: Easily apply dry flake to wet coats of clear or other mediums, eliminating the need for pre-mixing.

    Adjustable Tips: Comes with three interchangeable tips (8.0, 6.0, 5.0) for different flake sizes and application techniques.

    Precision Control: Features an air valve for fine-tuning the flake dispersion, ensuring accurate and controlled application.

    User-Friendly: The 32oz cup provides ample capacity for your flake, and the included 4-1/2” x 5” “El Flake Slinger” sticker adds a personalized touch.

    Kustom Packaging: Arrives in a unique box sleeve that doubles as a poster for display or reference.

Flake was beautiful. Aerosol Flake was not cooperating. When first pressed material kept coming out with pushing nozzle. Lost half of the material. Tried recording but pressed wrong buttons on phone.

Whitest White!

This is it! Search no more! If you want to get the whitest white there is out there this is it brother.

Messy to work with, but has an amazing burst of light. This refracts light way better than i needed it to

I actually returned this, and didnt get to enjoy this color. Butvim sure its as great as the others

Very rich color

Did some experiments with different base coats and loki green by a mile looks better over comet silver or even a metallic silver. The best part is you decide what shade you want based on how many coats you do. Phenomenal candy paint and ill be sure to stock up once im through with my order.

Used titanic blue for my sons goalie mask. Turned out great. He loved the contrast with the other colors and designs
Will use tropical glitz again when he needs a be mask!

Awesome paint sprays like a dream!

Awesome paint sprays like a dream!,Very easy to use,once you hit it with clear coat, then it really pops into a vibrant color!

SPI products are great, USPS shipping is slow and expensive

SPI products are great, the expedited shipping via USPS is inadequate. The USPS shipping is slower a more expensive than the usual parcel company’s regular ground shipping rate. Tropical Glitz should consider offering other shipping options that USPS since the delay in receiving the products I ordered delayed the work on my project with a tight timeline.
