Some metallic paints out there are getting out of hand I recently painted a metallic red on a friends ford and when I saw it in full sun the next day all I could think was they must have cut the throat of a MySpace Glitter Unicorn to make this paint.

One of the problems you might run into when painting heavy flake metallic paint is problems with stripes.

Ok so not a ton of detail in that question but we are going to attempt explaining the best method of repair for this person’s vehicle.

The first thing …
