2,000+ Hours QUV Weather-Proof Tested. High heat resistance up to 220°C (428°F). Engineered for custom automotive finishes, 2K urethane clears, powder coating, and marine fiberglass gelcoats.
Automotive custom painters, OEM finish formulators, and fiberglass marine boat builders require flakes with extreme chemical resilience and outdoor durability. Standard craft glitters disintegrate in aggressive 2K polyurethane clears and fade to dull silver under UV solar exposure within months.
MLM Cosmetic manufactures true automotive-grade metal flakes utilizing high-purity optical polyester film coated with 99.99% vacuum-metallized aluminum and double-sealed with an aliphatic polyurethane UV-inhibitor barrier. Our flakes provide dazzling multi-angle sparkle for hot rods, lowriders, motorcycles, bass boats, and powder-coated wheels.

Our 1/500" (50μm) and 1/256" (100μm) Micro-Flakes pass effortlessly through standard 1.3mm-1.4mm basecoat guns without clogging the nozzle or fluid tip.
Our flakes are cut from ultra-thin 15μm-25μm film with high surface wetting tension, allowing them to lay completely flat on the panel so you need fewer coats of 2K clear to achieve a glass-smooth finish.
Yes! Our automotive flakes withstand oven bake temperatures up to 220°C (428°F) for 20-30 minutes, making them ideal for dry-blending into clear powder coats for alloy wheels and metal fabrication.
Yes. Our aliphatic polyurethane barrier coating provides high chemical resistance to polyurethane thinners, xylene, acetone, MEK, and polyester gelcoat styrene.
