I had to do some diy painting yesterday
so while i had the gun out i decided to see what my brake backplates would look like with the flake on them, i'm pretty pleased with them 
The chrome was coated with 2 coats of 2 pack epoxy primer and allowed to flash off for 1 hour, then basecoated 2 coats, then 2 full flake coats and finally 3 full coats of 2 pack clear.

Is it possible for you to downsize your photos before posting? I'm trying to follow along, but the size of the photos is overwhelming.Jack

The 'flake looks really neat!!! Perfect (large) size for the backing plates... Some day I'm going to get brave enough to do just one more car with the huge flake!!!!--but it's got to be the right car.
Very innovative on the garnish moldings, they came out looking great with the stainless!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Boy do those backing plates look fantastic.
What size tip do you use to shoot that flake, Steve?
Oh, BTW, we have a little update coming on Dan's RPU.........you might actually get that ride sometime before you get too old to climb in it.

Thanks Dave i'm really pleased how they came out,
The garnish mouldings came out pretty good too but i have given them to my polishing friend as i got them pretty good but i know they can be better, sometimes its good to admit defeat and let someone else finish the job

Steve,
Really nice detail work.
I can't think of his name at the moment, but my wife and I were at Costco's this morning and ran into the guy from Reid's he and his wife and son. I told him I was communicating with you threw the Internet, he said Hello!

They look so good (the backing plates) you have convinced me for certain that my T has too be that sort of Flake, bloody marvellous,now I just need to get "A" into "G" get back to work,earn some real money so that I can afford to start back onto the car. Damn it is so hard when one is on a sickness benefit,oh well the mortgage is still been paid, so not all is been lost. Cheers Whip.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
