LiME LiNE Sprayable Metal Flake Paint Additive — Silver Iridescent 85g for 1 Quart Clear, Solvent-Resistant Automotive Glitter

This additive converts a quart of clear coat or intercoat clear into a densely packed, sprayable metal-flake finish that performs well in automotive environments. It’s designed to be mixed into 1 quart (85 g container) for consistent coverage, sprayed with typical automotive equipment, and buried under clear coat to preserve shine while minimizing surface texture.

How do I mix and prepare the LiME LiNE flake for spraying?

Mix the entire 85 g container into one quart of clear coat or intercoat clear until uniformly dispersed. Stir thoroughly to avoid clumping, strain if needed, and follow your clear coat manufacturer’s pot life and thinning recommendations.

• 85 g per 1 quart gives consistent distribution and coverage.
• Mix by hand or mechanical stirrer until no visible clusters remain.
• Optional: pass through a fine paint strainer before loading the gun.

What spray equipment and technique work best for this metal-flake additive?

Use a 1.3 mm or larger automotive spray gun for reliable transfer and an even spread of flakes. Apply 3–4 light, overlapping coats to reach desired intensity; more coats increase depth but may require slight adjustment to clear coat burying technique.

• Recommended gun size: 1.3 mm or larger for consistent flake delivery.
• Maintain 6–8 inches distance and steady, overlapping passes.
• Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat to avoid runs.

How does this additive behave under clear coat and in real-world automotive conditions?

LiME LiNE flake is engineered to be solvent resistant and to bury well in clear coats, reducing texture while preserving a brilliant, reflective finish. When applied over a properly prepped black base, the silver iridescent flakes deliver enhanced depth and vibrancy that resists common automotive solvents and road exposure when properly cured and protected with a quality clear.

• Best results over a black base coat for maximum contrast and depth.
• Formulated for burial: minimizes orange peel and texture under clear.
• Solvent-resistant composition suitable for automotive environments.

What coverage and finish can I expect from one container?

One 85 g container is matched to one quart of clear coat to provide balanced coverage and even flake distribution. Coverage will vary with gun settings and number of coats, but the recommended mix yields consistent sparkle appropriate for whole-panel application when used as instructed.

• One container mixes into one quart for panel-to-panel consistency.
• 3–4 coats of flake mix usually achieve strong visual density.
• Final look intensified when layered over a dark base and sealed with clear.
