FishingRaptor Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Looking to see if this is doable? Something like you see on a Norman Gel-Coat. Thanks for any info. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I don't know how it works, myself but I saw this from an accomplished carver/painter on another forum For the glitter, I like to use Folk Art Extreme Glitter because it can be sprayed through an airbrush with a little thinning. I do know you can order really fine flake from TCB and other places like .008 but it is not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not sure if I've got what your calling "glitter dust", but I have sprayed glitter through an airbrush. It all depends on tip size. Spraying through a #3 or #5 tip in my Paasche VL is doable. There are special guns that are designed specifically for this purpose although they're bigger than your standard airbrush. Think more along the lines of an HVLP gun. They are specially designed with a device that stirs the glitter while it's still in the gun to keep the glitter suspended in the spray medium.

woodieb8 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 glitter dust nu.5 tip pashe as stated. we mix it with clear. when mixing with clear put a ball bearing in spray bottle shake so the dust or glitter sprays evenly. normally a couple fog coats then a clear coat only final coat. hope this helps.

fordguy_85 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'll second the FolkArt Extreme Glitter. Relatively easy to spray, and there are several colors available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
