Metal flake technique debate

hey guys, me and a buddy are having a small debate,

im currently redoing my A-100, doing some flake on it, now im looking for the loudest flashy flake job. way i figured to lay it down was: silver base/silver flake/candy red/clear


my friend thinks it would be best to: silver base/candy/flake/candy/clear


what one would yield the best results?

 

base, flake, candy, clear, why would you want to candy the base? the way i look at it, and the way i do it regularly.....

 

Your pal is goofy.

 

also, try a search here - lots of info already posted

 

SCREW THE BASE!!!!!! PRIMER, FLAKE TILL COVER COMPLETELY, CANDY, THEN CLEAR ITS THICK BUT IT LOOKS SO FUCKING BAD ASS IN THE SUN!!!!! HOUSE OF COLOR BY THE WAY. Knuck From Indiana.

 

...and once that's all exhausted, shoot a test panel.

 

thats a understatement!

yea thats what im planning on doing to shut him up for good

 

I used flake in clear over a white base, then buried in clear. Looked awesome.

 

ive been using hok flake over black base lately and same color pearl from hok just one light coat after flake fills in any black spots works great with bass boat flakes lol
