i was thinking about plue pearl instead of flakes plus i was also thinking about silver flake but one of the custom painters i know here said alot of flakes look like trash in the paint on black cars.Im thinking about a body line down black and body up a kinda metallic mint green or tangerine.

as long as it is a small flake like a glamour flake like most factory paint jobs don't do blue i don't think it would look good and pearl is hard to see unless u put alot of it in..

whomever re-built my car added some small flakes, and its a glossy black paint. I like it, you can't tell till you get up close, but it adds alot to the shine when its waxed. Flakes are ok with me.
