Aluminum powder at paint stores?

[spudkilla224]

Hello everyone I was wondering if menards, home depot, autozone,or other auto parts stores would carry aluminum powder in a can for mixing in with paint to give it different textures?

A real actual paint store would. Or you could just buy aluminum paint anywhere you can get paint.

Icbut what I'm looking for is like an epoxy addative. Also what would be considered a real paint store? Also do u think car body shops would sell it?

Wow, I'd never heard of this but a google search seems to have a bunch of info: http://www.google.com/search?source...US_enUS221US222&q=powdered+aluminum+for+paint
Including that some Automotive paint supply shops offer it for sale.

Need some magnesium to light it off. Got a couple hundred feet of magnesium ribbon in my garage though, not that I'm worried. Or just use sparklers... magnesium is one of the main elements found in it.

You can buy aluminum powder at a pyrotechnics store (online or in person, don't mater). In general... lol.
