as some of you may know im getting a frame custom made for me, and after a long debate (with myself) i have decided i dont want the frame painted or powder coated. What i have decided on is a clear lacquer with a glitter flick.

any one ever had a bike sprayed clear with a glitter flick?

thanks shaun

Hmmm
Could you not get a metal/alu/Ti colourmatch paint with metalflake?

I had a steel haro bmx last that was factory painted clear and the frame looked really good but had started rusting in places, also the paint had started to lift in places as it had no etch primer under the clearcoat.

^^ You realise how much that house of kolor stuff costs, Its certainly not cost effective for a bike frame ๐Ÿ˜†

You could chuck some glitter into some Laquer and drop a coat of that on, then you'd have to build it up in laquer with no glitter in to cover though, IMO a cheaper and good look would be to drop some pearl over your frame, The pearl will transparent as there will be no base and in certain light will flip into your desired colour
