Hey buck, can't wait to see the final product. i talked to our auto body gut at work, and he told me that when they painted metal flake on the cars, motorcycle helmets, etc. in the 70's the base color was laid down, and then the sparkle was mixed in with the clear coat. this way the clear coat keeps the sparkle from "standing up". I have never built a guitar but the thought has crossed my mind. he has said that if I ever want to build one he will paint it for nothing. I just bring the supplies. "however I'm sure that he would accept a case of beer for his time". Hmmmmm... a silver sparkle just like Don Rich....or maybe blue....or red....
