Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Of COURSE there's nothing wrong with having grandkids!

When the Twilight saga spawns it's next batch of branded merchandise maybe you'll see some paint that sparkles in the sunlight, just like vampires do.

The original poster hasn't been back to tell us about where and why to use it on exterior.
I'm kind of curious.

All of us are talking about using it on ceilings

On a project two years ago, we added metal flake to an exterior grade oil enamel for a front door.; similar to the process used to create most metallic paints.

LOL. I know it sounds kinda crazy but my mother considers herself a person with great ideas. She thought her house would stand out and look really nice if she could get it painted with something that sparkled when the sun hit it.
She is determined to to it. Her house is brink but parts have the wood parts around the top.
So the whole house wouldn't be like that just those parts.

Is there anything that could be added to the paint to make it sparkle?

Metal flakes that might be something to make the door sparkle, interesting. Thanks

Back in the mid-seventies we sold those hand-crank glitter guns and bags of silver or gold gliter. I never understood why someone would want that in their home and still don't understand. I have learned one thing for sure though:
"There's no countin' for taste..."

HEY! My WIFE asked me to do that.... would you like to discuss it with HER? :laughing:

I think Larry the Cable Guy sells it. Each Gallon comes with two pink Penguins for the front lawn, and one of those rotating color floodlamps. Hell of a deal for 19.99, and if you call right away, you get a third penguin, absolutely free of charge. :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[DangerMouse]

oooOOOOooohhhhh PENGUINS!!!!

What's that number again?

To the poster you may try an auto body paint store they used to do metal flake I don't know if they still do.

Glitter???

I would think mixing it in would decrease the glitter. Unless its an extremely cheap paint... which would be fitting for the glitter AND the paint to be cheesy.

 

[Nailbags]

I think the glitter stuff in paint like a post earlier went out of style 30+ years ago. Just thinking and I know this might cause a train derailment. if your mom is that dead set on doing that why not get you a hand crank grass seed dispenser and fill it with glitter paint the house and then let the glitter fly on to the wet paint? YIKES! it might work it might not.

Lowes has an additive that costs like 8 bucks for enough to add to a gallon.You can add less/more as you want.
