I’ve seen very little metallic paint on boards. Is there a reason? I’m thinking about using some as a secondary trim color but I’m concerned because it is used very often.

Hmmm I wonder what kind of fish you can catch with a 9ft fishing lure?..and whos gonna reel it in?
I saw a board over at Moonlight that was painted a goldish/copper metallic color…it looked nice plus it had balsa/agave glass on’s…I once made a red board with silver shinny glitter…now that looked like a giant fishing lure. eek!
I have had pretty good luck with spray cans of Metallic Acrylic Lacquer.You get these at auto parts stores and they are called touch up colors.The brand I use is called “Plastikote”.I do this type of color work on the hotcoat…it doesn’t seem look good on foam.If you mist on a clear coat of acrylic over the paint work and scuff it with a scotchbrite pad you can gloss over it.I only use Reichold gloss resin because it kicks fast.Silmar resin takes too long to jell and may eat in to the color work.
