Mind you I have only used true metal flake twice. Both times it was House of Kolor, paint. According to the pro paint guy helping me with info, it can make a huge difference what you paint over. I had to match paint on a motorcyle (missing a side cover). I took in the other side cover and they guy told me it was Candy Apple Red shot over Gold Metalflake.
He had spray cars with CAR shot over several different base coats; and he was correct. The only one that matched was shot over gold metal flake.
So, I shot a base of white epoxy. Then a coat of gold metal flake. My only caveat on metal flake is don't shoot it too thick; the metal will sag. That was followed by a think Candy Apple color coat and topped with clear. Looked awesome. Lot of work for a small part.
