I am trying to find a local metal flake supplier in the orange county area. I just need some samples so I can match size and color of flakes. I am doing a metalflake gelcoat job on an old jet boat and need to match the old flake the best I can. I called a few places and couldnt get any suggestions.
Thanks!

Any jobber you find in the book will have access to HOK Sem and a half dozen other flake and pearl suppliers
google Innate and look at the website they have
Old school flake is another...

sure, i will swing by after work ;)
soooo...where did you get that sample pack? I saw the selections here (http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/ksflake.aspx) and they seem like a good match color wise, but its hard to tell until you see it in person, not based on a computer picture.
I can see this getting REALLY expensive at those prices.

The sample packs are all little ziplock bags tied together with a small chain...my jobber had it and gave it to me...
There are tons of suppliers out there
look at minicraft ...I think they have some too

I would go to Coast Airbrush in Anaheim. They have everything on display and all the manufacturers that were mentioned above.

they are on Anaheim Blvd right by Disney ice.
