When I was a kid, they had a 3 window coop come through town, it was painted metal flake Green...Damndest color I have ever seen in the sun!! I keep thinking about painting my car in metal flake, but I remember in the old days they had 5 or 6 hand rubbed coats of lacquer. I never heard about upkeep!?

Check with a paint supplier on care & upkeep. I wonder if the modern day paint compounds can't carry the metalflake??? A good metalflake paint job sure looked good.
