Im gettin my car painted shortly. I was going to go with Java Black Pearl because it ws the closest to what I wanted.

But I figured I might aswell ask, what Im really looking for is a basic black, plain old jane black with TONS of metal flake or flake however you say it. The flake you see on boat paint jobs and such, the flake that just shines and pops like crazy

Is there a certain terminology for that? Is there a way to describe it to a painter or is there any better method to get my desired effect?

Thanks guys

edit- like this

 

show him this thread

 

looks like black with red flake

 

I was just showing the TYPE of flake Im looking for, like that heavy of a flake.

Just curious what thats called, ive only ever seen it on boats

 

Hey that's cool man something different

 

go to a shop that paints lowriders vato

 

rolling around in a sparkly car is not very masculine. might as well hand over your man card.

be that as it may, im gonna help you out. when you watch the person mix the paint, tell him to put more flake. tadaaa!!

 

This isnt for a honda if it matters, its for my sow suv, but thanks
