Disclaimer: Forgive me for asking this question....If not for my wife I would never consider the following........

Front end of the wives Miata is wrecked....bought a donor car to replace the damaged pieces.....

Painting it back red.........with glitter in the clearcoat.....

Whats the best way or product to do the glitter????

Should it be a metalflake paint with just clear or a red base with glitter in the clear????

Thanks...

if its pearl you just buy a bottle and put it in the paint no big deal

metal flake paint.
Can be difficult to lay it consistantly the flake tends to sag or not be apparent if not suspended properly and sprayed properly

I always spray any metallic paint very dry, I get a more even distribution that way.

I looked through some HOK paint....they have some nice flake colors.....maybe I'll try my hand at that.....
