Default Bass boat metal flake!
My super glide is starting to show its age. I'm probably going to get her painted when this season is over.

Who has pics of their wild flake jobs for inspiration?

I'm actually contemplating doing a heavy flake bright colored paint job on my fxdls. I like wild paint colors and around here there's not many of that kind of job. What were you thinking of doing?

I LOVE the lucky flake candy custom color the moco did for a few years. With a gold pin stripe. So thats definitely in the running.... I'm also a huge fan of baby blue with a nice pearl scallop.

Similiar to this.

Some nice ideas. I'm waiting on my Hawaiian blue kandy and chrome flake to come in to play with first, then I'll pick my colors. You can't go wrong with just about any colors in my book.
