The only downside I can think for using nitro with metal flake is you’ll need a fair few more clear sessions to bury it, but since the clear isn’t costing you it’s not really a big deal.

Check out tropical glitz metal flake, they claim to be the thinnest in the world. Paint huffer also make nice flakes.
Thanks for the tips. So HOK candy is just buy the dye (essentially) and mix it into my clears 2 :1 I’m planning on doing a bunch of final clearcoats to bury everything anyway. Might just buy some HOK candy concentrate and do some
Tests.

The flake I use is either Roth (old skoooool) or from specialist paints as we use their gold flake on the grilles of our jukes anyway so we buy bags of the stuff.
