is the roof and top of the doors done in real metal flake?
the car was originally silver. the entire thing was taken down to the original paint, and in some spots, bare metal. then platinum silver was applied over the whole car. next, gunmetal was applied to the top half of the car. it was finished off with House of Kolor Kameleon Rose Metal Flake on the entire car in the first layer of clear, then 3 more layers of clear were added.
when it came out of the shop, the surface of the car felt like tapioca pudding because of the size of the flakes in the paint. it took hours of wet sanding and buffing to get it to be smooth as glass like it is now.
if anyone is considering having any kind of paint job done, i would HIGHLY reccommend my friend that did it. let me know if anyone wants his contact info, he works out of Newton, MA.
thanks for the complements everyone!
