thanks so much for the great comments, i've been custom painting cars for a number of years on and off so had a bit of practice, the proper process for the flake is obviously prep prep and more prep until you have a smooth finish, choose a base colour that closest matches your flake, apply this then a fine grab coat of laquer to make the thick coats stick, then you can either 1, mix flake into your clear as much or as little as you want apply coats until your happy with the amount of flake let this dry then wet sand and reclear until smooth or 2, buy a dry flake gun, these are specially designed to apply solid flake in as little clear as possible so grab coat, one really wet coat, apply flake with dry flake gun let tack of then apply more clear until buried, wet flat and reclear until smooth. this is the method i use. the guitar had 2 flake coats, 6 coats on top. then was wet sanded and 4 coats applied then another sand and 2 more coats so 15 coats in total. lots of work and practice needed but very satisfying
