Has anyone on here ever seen a real bright yellow flake??? Ive tried Meadowbrook and the Metalfake Co, these are the only two companys ive dealt with but they dont do the yellow i would like,,, which is similar to the Meyers Manx script on the top of this page. As all the UK flake seems to come from USA,,, what better bunch of guys to ask.

you can probably get something from House of Kolor. You can pick a base- do something close i flake and then candy yellow over it i would think if they don't have the yellow you want to start with? http://www.hokpaint.com/scripts/depot.e ... chip15.bbx

I will try house of colours tomorrow and see if they do the yellow jewels. Dave, I forgot to mention K&c moldings,,,I also deal with them for fiberglass stuff, but they dont do the bright yellow im after either. Thanks Guys for your help,,, i want to mix this into gel-coat for molding. The big problem here in UK today, is far too many middle men to deal with,,, the guys that serve you dont have a clue about the product they are selling.

Thanks for your help guys,,,, i have never seen the colour (daffodil yellow jewels) i want,,, not even on a fairground ride,,,,so maybe its never been made,, but i live in hope that someone on here will find a supplier in USA.

David, Several years back I remember a glitter color called "Glowble". I have somewhere a jar of it that was purchased in South Carolina...about a pound worth, but can't remember the price or where it is at the moment. It's very close to the color you're after. I'll do a search around my parent's house for it, meanwhile try a search on the 'net under that name. Good luck!
