Metalflake no longer offer paint ..just 'flake.

I buy old cans of Metalflake candies, tints and pearls whenever I see them on ebay or the swaps. A friend of mine is an old school 1970's style of painter and still uses them. Cans 30-35 years old as long as they are sealed still work great-even partial cans.

I have Metalflake Aztec gold, regal blue and Fire red concentrate tints (that you mix with any paint) and Ultra Brilliant silver but plan to use them on my car.

If I see any more I will let you know.

Most old painters still say Metalflake was the best..true 1970's style of candies..the candies offered by co's today (PPG, Dupont etc) have a modern look to them..hard to explain...but you can tell by looking at them.
