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

You don't wanna flake on top of the red. The flakes won't be red unless you use red flakes.


I'll be spraying a clear with metalflake in it, under the transparent red, over the silver base. Wouldn't that make the metalflake red? Then I'm gonna spray another clear with metalflake in it over the red. I know these flakes wouldn't be red, they'd be silver. That's exactly the effect I'm shooting for. I want two layers of flake, the red, under the kandy, and silver, over it. Do ya still see probs?
