(and then some)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chris came through with a how-to video for shooting metal flake and he used a cheap Harbor Freight gun! I hope we can all afford $30-40 for a gun and if you watch, Harbor Freight has 20% coupons available almost all the time. Chris also shows a few more details about setting up the gun and what he literally throws away when using the HF gun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun video with great commentary&#8230; Thanks a million for the video Chris!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How to Shoot Metal Flake with a Harbor Paint Gun<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:575px;height:355px;\"><span id=\"vvq-24350-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tya3xkFinIo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/tya3xkFinIo\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;\">Thanks again Chris!
