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 can't spray the clear under the red. Base coat won't stick to the clear. And if it does stick, the red will cover the clear and you won't be able to see the flakes. To see the flakes underneath you'll have to use a transparent red. Then the flakes won't be red.
