Glastron Metalflake
« on: April 20, 2022, 03:55:52 PM »
I was having one hell of a time finding the correct color metalflake for my '77 CVX-20. Someone on this site had purchased flake from Al @ www.gelcoatproducts.com. Jeff Rockwell sent me the contact info. Al has the actual Glastron metaflake mixtures. I spoke to Al he gave me the mixture and even mixed up a small batch and sent me a picture. I had previously purchased 2 lbs of flake from www.vintagepaint.biz to mix up my own color and I will say I have gotten very close. For anyone looking for the correct Metalflake for their restoration project give Al a call. He will set you up with the correct flake and/or give you the mixture and you will be good to go. UPDATE - gelcoatproducts uses octagon metalflake, the original flake is square. Most won't notice, but I would. '77 CVX-20 Silver metalflake mixture, Gunmetal & Silver at a 2:1 ratio 0.015" square flake. Happy hunting!

Hi, thanks for the info.  How much metalflake do you need for a cvx20 more or less?

Thanks,

Speedy G

I'm working on a '74 green CV-16, what color was your base coat?  Thanks.
