well if you were to do the flake you would have to paint it Lol.

i was talking about the entire thing.

fix it, respray it with fresh base and flake, then a few coats of clear.

bengali548 24-Mar-2009 09:58 PM

i thought flakes were mixed into clear coat?

sWiFtY~ 29-Mar-2009 12:16 PM

well you can do it that way. alot of shops do that way to cut the cost of spraying it mixed into a transparent base. same used for pearls aswell.
