glitter question

[ijerkum]

What type of glitter is best to use when adding to powder paint?

Any other tips will be appreciated! Such as amount of glitter to paint ratio, color combos, heat /cure times,etc.

Thanks for the help!

polyflake due to the heat. Same glitter in plastic worms, boats ect.
Check bears, mf, Im sure there are some site sponsors that have it here. Heat/time depends on the color of powder

dont use cheap plastic glitter from the hobby store, polyflake is made from aluminum.

Here's what I use:Extra Fine Glitter - 1oz Lure Parts Online

As far as how much, you just have to add a little and mix well til you get what you're looking for. As a rule, the glitter goes a long way. I take the fire opal, mix less than 1/4 bottle in a 2oz jar of clear powder paint and get an awesome shad/minnow colored head. That mixture also makes a great base to apply the transparent "candy" powder paint over.

Remember you can always add more, so to start.....less is best.
