    I'm trying to decide on whether to go metalflake Blue or a medium Metallic Blue on my 34 5 window.

    No pics, sorry.

    What is the build? fendered or ?

    There was a 33/4 5w heavy chop and channel around here around 1970. It was the old showcar called the ICE BOX as shown in "cool cars, square roll bars". The later 60s upgrade was a metallic blue like 68 Mustang..car had lots of chrome everywhere and it looked slick


    anyways, bttt
     
  4. There is a flaked blue 34 here in Michigan. Might be some photos of it in Billetproof Michigan photos. Although I think he just hit a deer a couple weeks ago! Ouch.
     

  5. Well here it is, but it's hard to tell from the pics. It's pretty big flake if I can remember right. Maybe someone else has better pix??

    See, I am on the other end of the spectrum. I think a great deal of flaked cars look silly. I feel like it's being overused if that's possible. I think a nice metaliic bast with conservative use of flake can be pretty nice. But I will say that there have been a few fully flaked cars that blew me away but not many.

    heres mine with paint with pearsl blue flake{oo4} and some .50 crushed glass in the last coat.the only thing i would have done diff is maybe used a blue base insted of black to get the flake color i wanted but i love it and it only cost me $75.00to do it.flake was $13.00 black was free and so was the clear because i had a gallon left over from a car i did 7 years ago and my friend had one he wouldnt use because it was too old.i did buy new hardener and reduser[about 50 bucks}i thought that the 004 flake would look small but it doesnt.and the crushed glass really makes it pop in the sun.the only other thing that sucks about flake is if there isnt any sun it just looks blue.it deff. does make a statement though.
