Traybird Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 do you guys shoot your glitter on or will it clog the airbrush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 depends on what size glitter and what size nozzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I used to shoot ultra fine glitter in the clear coat; in the early 90's; with no problem at all. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcDano Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 If your are applying automotive or solvent base, With the smaller flake and pearls you can suspend them in lacquer thinner enough to shoot. The idea is that you can shoot the pearls and flakes without the extra clearcoat build-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Maxwell Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Another option. Put glitter in the first coat of 2 Ton epoxy. When dry coat again with just epoxy. Wa La!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VANNDALIZER Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Paasche makes a gun to shoot glitter. I dont remember the #. Holds a 3 oz. jar I think. I used a marble in mine to keep the glitter suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I don't do volume production so find the cheap bottles of acrylic glitter at hobby shops work just fine and have some advantages. There's a wide variety of colors and particle sizes, and it's cheap. I dilute it 50/50 with water and brush it on with a soft brush. The big advantage is controlling the amount and the exact placement of glitter on the lure. Too much or glitter where you don't want it? A swipe with a wet brush moves it or removes it. When you're happy, let it dry and you're ready for clearcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
