kandy metalflake, Can you see any probs? Options

[flipside97LTD]

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

Well, I hate to ask a question and keep disagreeing with the answers but kandy is meant to cover a base color and the base color still be seen through the hue of the kandy. So let's say I spray a silver base, then kandy(transparent) red over it, then when the sun hits the car silver will shine through the red color. That's what kandy is. So to say the flakes wouldn't be red under the kandy doesn't make sense. I also plan on putting the flakes in an intercoat clear, designed to be sprayed between coats of paint.
