Thanks for the responses. I checked them all out. Today I found a company on line, nnigroup.com, they sell several colors in both metal flake and mica flake. I'm going to try a sample from them. Hope to have this finished by Christmas. I'll post a picture when she's all done.<br />

Thanks,<br />

<p>I think Gibson used Crescent Bronzing Powders. Many on the mylespaul forum say it's Crescent Bronze Extra Brilliant Greengold #256. I've seen others say that it's a mixture of two colors. You can order a color sample card from Crescent. Look at their site and scroll down:</p>

<p>hi Greg- I use to do custom painting on hard body guitars and I had an automobile paint supplier that had flake that I use to mix with clear laqure and it worked out very well- so maby that can be a possible thing that you can try - HOWEVER</p>
<p>if you try it then do it on a spare piece of material before you lay it on the finished product- peace, Donald</p>
