Xingu Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 I generally just fill out an order form and mail it off with a check. 3-4 weeks later I get a care package with some paint.
Erik Smith Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Are MCW metallics large flakes or closer to pearl/in scale look? I have only ordered solid colors previously.

I have only ordered solid colors previously. That's the best part about their paints. The metallic particles are much closer to scale than most rattle can paints. Many of their metallics are so fine that it can be difficult to see without close inspection. The "Cay Coral" paint on this '58 Chevy is metallic, but it's hard to see the individual flakes, but the "sheen" makes it obvious that it is metallic. I basically only use MCW paints for all of my metallic paint jobs. Steve
Motor City Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 that Impala is beautiful, Steve; how did you duplicate the multi-colored seat pattern?

Paint & masking tape. I wish that I had a better photo of the interior, but unfortunately, this is about the best I have. Steve
Xingu Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Yes, you can get rattle cans. Might not be able to for all colors, but they do offer it.

Since the business changed hands, they now offer to put any paint color that you want into a spray can, including custom mixed colors. The catch is that you have to order 2 cans of anything that they do not already carry in a spray can, & it's not particularly cheap. Steve
