    Can I ask why you are thinking of flake on the frame? Seems like a lot of work for an area that won't catch light that flake needs.

    i was wondering the same thing, but a crazy flaked green frame would look sick under a bagged flatblack 36 ford. only let people see it when it aint on the ground.



    or a lowrider:D

    LOTS!! You will lose lots spraying tubing, square or round. And I mean lots. At least 40% hits the ground
