One thing that I notice between the green and the red, is that the flakes in the green are much more specular. At least a few of them, because of the way they were applied, are lying at really crazy angles. That accounts for the random glints in the pictures.
The red flakes, because they were sprayed on, are all laying flat. Much less specular. Much less glintzy.
Need to figure out a way to get some more depth to that red finish.
Ideas anybody?
