Original Glastron metal flake here!
« on: November 19, 2021, 06:11:09 PM »
Ten years ago, I tracked down the company that has the original formulas from Glastron for metal flake mixes. I thought all along that I had found it here, but apparently I did not. Getting ready to do some projects with my Scimitar had me looking for that info, so I searched it here and on other groups, and quickly realized this must not be where/how I originally found it. So, I began digging for the samples and info they had sent me 10 years ago, and, I found it! Spoke to them today, and placed a large order of flake and accompanying products for my projects. They have formulas and flake for most colors from 72 to 82. If you call, ask to speak to Allan, he is the flake master, and he gave me his blessing to share this info with all of you. Admins please post this anywhere you feel it will be useful to users? enjoy! They do have a website, but very little info there regarding the metal flake.

The question is where do they get squared flakes? So far I have not found any anywhere in the world. Only hexagon and octagon shaped ones.

The red flake that I put on the 1900 was square .015 and .025, I mixed it 50 50.
I also got purple flake for the CV 16 V8, they had that in .015 and .025 pre-mixed. All square.

Interesting! When I redid the Intimidator years ago I ordered samples from all around the globe and no one was offering square ones.
