I am currently painting a GP350LC that has been built by my mate.

We got the silver Glowble flake on it yesterday, and he wants me to do it in Vreeble in and 80's S Type style.

The problem is, I cant find anyone who has any Vreeble left.

There is this posting recently on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay3-R77KBR0 of a really nice job.

Does anyone know Mark Palmer, is he on here ? I'd love to know where he got the Vreeble, and if there is any more available.

There is this stuff: http://customcreationpaints.co.uk/crackel-paint , but it is only available in solid colours, which won't look too great over flake.

Any and all leads appreciated.

I did speak to the guy at Custom Creations, and he did offer me the clear base, suitable for tinting, but said it was definitely not compatible with any of the candy concentrates.

I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, but didn't want to screw up the glowble base I had already put on.

Which candy did you use, and where there any issues ?

Mark kindly came back to me with the info above, but I had already gone down another route at that stage.

The results are here :
