that flake tends to look like dirt in a paint job. so be careful with it.   u might want to try an ice pearl. it can look like a mini flake, but doesnt need to be buried as much as a flake.  u could use white, gold, blue, green all would look good over the white.

 i agree you should look into some ice pearl thats some pretty nice stuff if your looking for a flake effect

how much ice pearl do you mix to a qt, also the truck already has a cadi white with a white pearl over it,  if i  sprayed a ice pearl over that would you be able to see it or would it be a wast of time.  would a white ice pearl really show up over white? im spaying a hok Oriental blue flames on white and was just wonting to give the white a little something. ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME.... was thinking about a aqua to pinstripe the flames.

 1/4 table spoon per quart is good you can go more or less but if you got like some measuing spoon for cooking its easy to remember how much and easy to remember a quarter teaspoon per quart. not sure how it would look if you already got white pearl on it except it would have more sparkle. maybe get some blue ice pearl and spray the flames with that it would make them look like ghost flames more then a soild or candy, and if you realy wanted them to look alot like ghost flames jsut mask them off get a air brush go around the whole tape outline by about 1/2 inch about 2 or 3 times them fade from the tips into the lager area you could also use a touch up gun to do that. they look more like ghost flames if you fade them in compaired to just spraying the whole front where the flames are masked.  as for the color of the truck in my signature you got me its some made up paint for one of my 3d renderings so its not even real
