i was going to get the roof of a car painted like this (see below) but it's a pain. basically you need a spray gun with extra large holes in the nozzle to allow the flakes to come out, then you need heaps of clear coat layer and sanding in between, to cut it back to a smooth finish.
since the introduction of pearlescent paint, the use of metal flake has declined, as you can get an equally stunning finish with these (but it's a lot finer)
