The carrier I used was Max Meyer,maxicar HS ,B081 transparent base.

The other way to apply flake, is with a flake buster gun.
I've never used one, but they got good reviews on the american custom paint forums.

The video for the airbrush mounted mini gun is amazing, but I won't be putting 2K clear through any of my airbrushes

Did you have the full size one or the airbrush version Roob ?

I have never done enough with flake to justify buying one, but I do like the look of the mini one. The flake in the helmet video must be seriously fine.

I flaked my vespa and was the first time of trying as a novice, satin black base coat then blue flake off ebay. Word of warning though after two years ive noticed that the flake on exposed parts has lost most of its colour compared to the blue flake under the panels. I used a binder to put the flake on then 2pack laquer. I didnt fully finish it though cos I new I was gonna mess it up so could have done with a few more laquer coats.
