ok, thinking of spraying some more flake of the pontiac. Roof's already silver w/silver flake. Now I'm thinking about the body, it's Bright Atlantic Blue (Prl/Met), and Royal blue flake looks like it would be a good match over it. I also still have ALOT of silver flake left over too. What should I do with it? I'm trying to get it looking crazy and clean to aid in the selling of it hopefully soon. (guys around here really dig flake)....

Personally i think its perfect how it is. It's not over the top and it looks nice and clean. But its your car. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Leave it as is. Sometimes less is more.

What he said.
If I was still in the market for a flat roof, (I'm not, I got the 60 Elky and it has the same style roof only shorter,) I wouldn't want any one elses idea of graphics on it, I'd want to cover that canvas myself or leave it as is which to me looks DONE!
If you want a sales gimmick just advertise that the rest of the flake materials go with the car...

I really can't decide, after I got the brakes straightened out (if i ever do...), I wanna gonna go to the exhaust shop and see what dual exhuast is gonna cost me, get some bellflowers, flake the rest, get a carpet kit and call it done. I have to touch up a few spots onm it anyway, that's why I was thinking about just flaking the rest while I'm already painting....can anyone photoshop flake?

IF you have to repaint it to sell it, then do it!

yeah i saw ti on there, but I dunno if it's the right size flake, and I know it's no where near enough.

Buy a junk 59-60 ElCamino and use the doors, top and inner-bed on your poncho. It'll make a kick-ass pont-mino.
THEN, flake the livin shit outa it..
