I want to know how to get this look. I know he said he either put some kind of flake or pearl in it. Is that pearl or flake and do I mix it in my clear, spray a few coats and then spray a few more coats of just clear over it? If its flake what size would be close?

Looks like a standard metallic paint with a black base coat.

 

you need to spray a base coat then a coat of clear with the flakes, then burry them bitches under a few coats of just clear, better be good or your gonna get some zebra stripes.

Thats what I was looking to hear. Ive got some practice panel to play with for a while.

 

Looks like metallic base w/ large heavy type flake mixed in, to me too. If you plan on mixing a lot of flake in or applying a lot of flake over the base your better off mixing it w/ a clear base and not in the actual clear top coat. Apply that tinted base over the primary base coat like a tri coat. Its better to control the effect that way in certain situations though. Ice that shizz ice man
