adding pearl to the base coat won't change it too much, but if you just spray a pearl coat, then you'll see a difference. As for adding flakes, if you're looking to have a lot of flake, just add it in with your clear coat.

I actually did paint my AC dryer red with a pearl coat. It came out looking alright. I'll take a few pics for you and post them up
