Well yeah, powdercoat is only available in plain colours. the glitter lacquer gives a much different look to a proper metallic...as the glitter sits on top of the paint, so to speak, whereas a metallic has glittery bits within the paint. I guess it depends on exactly what look you're after, but to get a metallic spray then it's either Vaz (and take your chances with the durability of the finish) or somewhere nice, but pricey, like argos or colourtech.
