rattle can paint help(colours)
so, i did a bit of research online, trying to find pearl white(the kind that sparkles w/ tiny metal flakes) in a rattle can.
i found the "metal flake" company but you have to have an air compressor and spray gun and all that jazz.
i went to home depot and they have blue metallic rustoleum...but not white.
i also found a company that does have pearl white, but it comes in those little tiny cans for painting model cars and would cost me about $40 just to do the 2 back panels...
any ideas on a brand of rattle can "metallic" paints?

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
Greetings:
Dunno about Sprees, rattle cans, or paint in general. However I do know 'bout Pearl White.
The trick is to apply the white paint over black primer. In the right light, this gives a "Depth" to the white color you don't otherwise get. Metallic white paint is not the same as Metalflake white paint, if that's the look you're after. The latter might not come in a rattle can. The key to it all is like 10 coats of clear over all to give that "Wet Look".

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
if you must have pearl white, some automotive paint distributers can mix it in a pressurized can that can be re-used or try dupli-color 3 stage mirage 'rattle can" paint which changes color under light, 35 yrs ago we called it flip/flop
some people dream of speed, i own your dreams!

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
hmmm. the duplicolour mirage isnt exactly what i was looking for, but they have a product called "effex" that is. its a glittery clear coat you spray over your base...i may go down to my local shop and check that out. i know they have duplicolour there, but i'm not sure if they've got this stuff.
thanx for the tip maddog.

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
If you have a sherwin williams auto paint store in your area, they have paint with the metal flakes like you are describing. I think they have both rattle cans and in regular paint.

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
i went to the local walmart today and found out something cool. krylon fusion now comes in "shimmer"
unfortunately, the white version isnt want i want. but if you want black or green it looks just like it does on new cars.
here's what i'm after

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
call maaco and see if they can mix that color and put it in the spray can. I can't remember if its that company or another one that does that.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
the duplicolor effex the clear changes color like the chamelaeon(sp) paint. but if you want black it looks like well black with glitter. i have the effex clear on my 2 hondas looks cool if you dont mind the color changes.

Re: rattle can paint help(colours)
dupli color sucks. the (same) color varies wildly from can to can, and it is not a catalyzed paint, so the first time you splash a little gas on it you are going to see your paint going away.
