Does anyone know where in SE Qld I can get metalflake paint? I only want a small amount as the finish will not be solid flake. House of Kolor don't seem to advertise dealers and from my experience when it came out (many years ago under the brand name 'Metaflake') you could but it as dry flakes that you mixed with clear is this still the same?

House of Kolor are also extremely expensive! I'm using Spray Chief, which have an extensive range of metalfakes large and small, and come at a much more reasonable price.

The best thing to do would be to do a google search and email around. This is what i did to find a supplier of both HOK and Spray Chief. There is only one supplier for the whole WA for House of Kolor and Spray Chief, so if was fun trying to find someone who would get the paint i wanted!

Thats exactly who i bought it from John!

Really nice guys, smokes like a chimney, but has everything on the face of the earth. He was extremely helpful with getting me the supplies i need!

Ancientbugger - i could find his details, and im sure he would be more than happy to track down a supplier for you, as my supplies came from over east?

ash, when i went he wouldn't sell me some of the stuff cos i wasn't "in the trade". i guess my pommie accent put him off. when i get round to doing my custom splitty i'll try again.

I ended up getting mine off ebay. Worked out pretty cheap in the end.
