After a little curing, this clearcoat is flattened with wet and dry paper, the flood fills are dropped in by hand... this is a cheap bike with quite poor shorelines so the fills are naff. Then a small cure and a new clearcoat is applied over the whole thing. This last clear is a flowcoat or "showcoat" and it helps bury the texture of the flake and helps disguise the edges of the different layered colours. The ultimate goal is a smooth finish.
After the final cure, we wet-flat the bike with high grade papers and buff it to a shine.

Once the filler is on and shaped and the whole thing is primed, cured and a key is put in it, colour goes on.
This was a metallic 'Midnight Purple' from the 90's Nissan Skyline for those who care.
After that it got a gentle dusting of flake in a three-colour blend.
The flake is suspended in a clear binder so that it can be applied through a proper HVLP process.
Fixie hipster wannabe.
Paint and refinishing.
