But somehow, I will get good photos and post - I really want input on the best Flakes to use
[they are tubes only]

One of the colors is brazzare - a BLACK with long flakes that turn silver or blue or gold depending on now the light hits it. Then I have a WhiteSplash, GreenLite, RedLite, OrangeStar, BlueStar, DarkStar {which is rich metallic gray} and GoldDigger [the gold is almost like a custom bass boat ~ very wild]

Anyway, I will order Flake Paint in bikes and framesets along with the RAW version
and these will be on a KILO TT we will call THE STRIPPER [my wife's idea] as they are stripped of all decals
and they will get MKS track pedals with Gold cages, a Gold Chain, a bit tricker seat, and zero decals [except reynolds sticker]

I'll do the Flakes first
then Pearls and Fades later

Probably do this type special run every 3 months or so

Already on the way for June - small sizes in FIFI PINK, APPLE PIE, SWAK PINK, GRAPE SODA, CESELSTE BLUE, CREAMCICLE --

I like lots of colors [although factory is complaining a bit and must think I am nuts]

Have Fun
