   Afternoon all,
   
   Need some help & advice. Getting a Full Re-Spray on my Phase 1 VTR; it going to be Kandy Orange from House of Kolors. I was thinking about putting Orange Metal Flakes on it to, to make it stand out more in the sun!
   
   What does everyone think to that & how much of the flakes would I need - you can buy 500g of Orange Flakes on Ebay.com for £36.

   not bad these.
   they need to be mixed with the lacquer.
   you'll only need about 90 grams really mate.
   30grams for every 1 litre of lacquer.
