Prob not exactly what your looking for, but my base coat is a metallic silver. And I have some shots from when I was painting.
The metallic is used in the clear most of the time (at least to my understanding) mine was in the base. And way hope it holds you over till you get a real pic  You cant really see also to the extent the metallic "flake" is, it looked alot more like the metallic effect in person... but crappy cell phone cam cant show everything

Yupp as manny said, i sprayed orange over the silver.
But the silver looked amazing! and it wasnt hard at all. I was very temped to keep the silver after I sprayed it, cause it looked really clean. but i had bigger plans Do you plan on doing the paint yourself? -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.

Sorry for being unclear, but i want a color with the metallic effect like how fastbird did with the red. thats not a metallic. well, technicly it does have metaillic (silver) in it, but the depth and candy effect is done with pearl powders, and is called a "tri-stage" or "candy" paint job. i recently did dustin and steffs beams in a tri-stage that is actually a little similar to fastbirds car, actually. here is a link: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=75017 -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
