Brother had a 65 Impala that was painted with Elmers glue and silver glitter. When the glue was dry, the guy coated it with shellac. It was 20 years old when he got it from his father in law and he drove it for another 20 years. Looked like the way it sounds, but it workedHow do you use gliter as metal flake to paint a car?
You are so far off the mark it is unbelievable. Glitter is not used in automotive paint. Glitter is used by elementary school children. Car's are not painted using rattle can spray paint either. Not even close.





To get a heavy metallic flake in a paint job, you must use a course aluminum toner. This is all way too technical for you. Do not paint a car if you have not done it before. You will screw up your car big time. There is a lot involved in painting a vehicle properly.
glitter will NOT work. you need automotive metal flake. Glitter for crafts will melt. Okay. Now first after primer and everything is smooth do your basecoat in whatever color. With a gun in a booth to get it right. Spray paint leaves splotches. I have seen cars with rolled on paint and it looks ok. Usually close to the flake color. Then you put some flake in the clear and spray that with a large tipped gun. Then shoot a lot more clear to bury the roughness of the flake. Or you can do flake without clear with a special gun and then do clear.
heres the best idea.. take it to a shop that proffesionally does cars!, no messing up, cost a bit more but its worth it.. and they can do what ever you want them to do..
