what's up guys, I'm planning on having my car repainted by the end of august and I'm gonna be doing a pretty extreme paint job. I want to paint it kandy red with two layers of metalflake. So I'd spray a silver base, then metal flake, then kandy red, then metalflake, and then my final clear. My idea is to have two layers of metalflake, one under the red kandy, and one over it, that way it's got red sparkles and silver ones. I'll be using House of Kolor paints.
Anybody with paint experience see any problems with doing that? thanks, Ryan -------------------- ![]() |

I'm assuming that the silver is a solid base and that the kandy red is a transparent finish. You don't wanna flake on top of the red. The flakes won't be red unless you use red flakes. But I think the flakes willl be pronounced very much and wouldn't turn out right. As far as clear goes, I'd do 2 coats of wet, let it dry over night, do a wet sand with 1600 grit, one more wet coat of clear. After baking the clear, wet sand with 2000 grit and buff. If not baking the car, do the last step a week or so later.
