: I will post pics as I complete each step of the process. I just

: assembly for spraying on paint if the spray cans leave
: unsatisfactory results.

Hi Robert,

Interesting. If you do spray it, remember you have to shake the can/spray gun often to keep the flake in suspension, otherwise it'll settle out while you're spraying and you'll gradually get less and less flake makes for uneven coverage.
