paul h Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We need more pictures to appreciate the whole flipness of the finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1440712256' post='2853310'] Lovely finish. So is this custom car-type two-part paint? Like Candy Colours or something? [/quote] It is indeed 'flip-paint'. People tend to call this TVR flip paint, though of course it's not just TVR cars that use it. The effect can be controlled radically by not only the colour flip paint itself but also the undercoat. In order to get the weird pink/burgundy mist finish here, the undercoat is a sparkle red! Yes, I will be taking more pictures!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggybass Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 [quote name='dood' timestamp='1440707494' post='2853223'] [/quote] Did you do this using the flash paint selling on ebay? Amazing coloirs. I have been having so much trouble doing repaint "in my studio". I stopped using Nitro. I don't know if it's the tempretures here but I could not get nitro to harden! At the moment I am using Grafitti paint. (Brand availible if you ask) I don't want to get into trouble I have 3 rebuilds to paint and I am struggling as the Grafitti paint it vc fast drying has loads of colours but barely close to some of the rerpro colour buzz I need for one body! Brand names and other relevent info appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where he sourced the flip paint but I do know there is a very reputable outlet near Sheffield. I forget the name though! To get this rather lovely burgundy mist / purple / pinky pink pink / I'm sometimes blue type look is due to chasing a different undercoat. In this case there's a metallic red under the 'flip' layer.

Norris Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You're going to be gutted the first chip it gets. It looks too nice to play - it should be hanging in an art gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks too nice to play - it should be hanging in an art gallery [/quote] After owning a couple of basses with flip paint already, I have had to go through that feeling. Especially as the first ding was in a 'top of the range' custom Shuker build! - But on the flipside, basses aren't for hanging on walls, they are for playing and every ding tells a story!! p.s. yeah, gutted though ha ha!
