Show me your Flaked Roof!

I'm kicking around some paint ideas for my pickup. Show me your flaked roof for inspiration. It can be a truck or car, plain or fancy, I just want to see glittery glistening METAL FLAKE.

Thanks for all your inspiration and thanks for this great forum. You guys are the best.

 

you might want to talk to the guy that's "gay for radials".

 

Here ya go Terd, I'll back you up...

In that first sketch, I used my kid's glitter glue on paper to show the 'Flake. Try snapping a good color photo of your car, print it out and then go get the "Deluxe Super Glitter Party Set" from your local art store.

For maximim effect, get every kid in the neighborhood to color with ya!...As a matter of fact, send me all those kid's work, I need new ideas for paint jobs...

 

Here is one that I stole from The HAMB.
I have been trying to collect ideas also.

Please post some moar!!!!

 

Here's Kirk Hanning's '34 truck. And Some Jive Caddy that needs to be lowered.
I also have a silver Caprice wagon with blue flake on the roof. Gonna flake the roof of my black '65 Coupe DeVille in red here in a minute.

 

I am wanting to shoot my wagon roof in white with metalflake. No design, just color with flake. It'll be interesting to see what gets posted!

 

I know you are asking for roofs, but this thread has a bunch of flaked cars in it....

Malcolm

 

Thanks guys. Any more?

 

I just finished this car yesterday!

 

I like the flaked roofs a lot. I think they look really sharp if they're on the right car.

 

Here u go.....

 

sorry

 

ok now it works

 

More please.

 

You might want to look at Donnie Baird's stuff at imperialcustoms.com
You don't get much better than his roofs in my book.

 

Here's the roof of a friends 59 Cadillac I did recently.....

 

Damn Jerry, not only were you fabulous in Smokey and the Bandit, you paint a mean roof man!! Nice.

 

It's crazy how such a small modification can make a relatively mild ride look much wilder.

 

Ya mean like this roof?

 

Hook up the drive shaft and ya'll have a nice cruiser! Taker easy in the corners though, she looks a little top heavy!

 

I've seen a bunch of your stuff over on the jockey journal and it's consistently AWESOME.

 

Silver flake with HOK candy red....

 

That looks awesome.

 

I know there's more flake around here than what's been shown. Come on, show it off.

 

Here's my roof, Roth baby Gangreen over a GM emerald green base



Here's the rest of the car finished

 

This is close to what I'm thinking about for my pickup roof. Looks great.

 

Here's a pic of a 'flaked roof that I have.
I plan on painting the roof of my Acadian wagon white with some metalflake in it.

 

That's badass too. Purple is the other direction I'm leaning. Thanks.

 

On My old 62 Falcon:

 

I flkaed my cell phone with spray glitter, silver base and Dupli-Color anodized red paint. Looks awesome after a coat of urethane clear and some wetsanding.
