  • 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.

Very fast on shipping, and very good quality paint.

Great product

Amazing clear and lays beautiful. I'm in no way a professional and I had Amazing results.

Same as the other sizes. Perfect for turns

Just right for making curved patterns

These are perfect. For when it’s a touch up paint or a small project you don’t need the big disposables, these are the perfect size. Especially when using the 2oz or 4oz RTS. NE mess

Bright as the sun, love it

I’m going to give both five stars. So far. I haven’t gotten to look at the sun to see what the colors look like in actual light, they look great under the headlamps and artificial. Due to the hurricane currently. But I’m painting a drippin ass minibike that’s going to be way faster and cleaner than every other bike out.
