I can't wait to see it finished. That's the best color of metal flake in my opinion.

Can you fine sand metal flake? Are you clear coating it? How does that work?

Re: Metal Flake T-Bird Project

sanded today since the paint will be here in a few days. figured out a good trick to pull the ferrules out for the bridge posts. I was heating them up and they wouldn't come out so I put one of the posts in and used a hammer like I was pulling a nail, they came right out. filled some of the small dings with some fast glue and sanded them smooth, worked pretty well. very excited to get the paint going.

I was mostly concerned about taking down the clear coat

Just got my bud's Epi T-Bird today and I'm going to tear it down and do a really cool metal flake paint job on it. I am using Lil Roth Rattlebombs, I have high hopes for them.

I'll keep this updated with pics as I go. Paint is a few days away still but I'll start some of the prep tonight.

Best part is the name of the paint, Warm Beer Flake, it could be a sig color for it's owner.
