    I'll let one of our paint experts comment on the flake, but just wanted to say Welcome. Nice to see another Floridian joining the fray.

    I also would like to welcome you to CHR and hope that you hang around. We have a have a huge resource of talent here, so I will also deflect the question to some our paint pro's. I am sure that one of them can give you the help you need. Also when you get a chance post some pix of your pride and joy little truck. We love pictures.

    Thanks for your assistance! Yes - love to post pix. I'm totally new to custom, but my husband briefly had a shop (very briefly!!). May be my new hobby!

    Glad to hear another Floridian on the site! With regards to color selection, rc57 hit the nail on the head, get some test panels. Especially with HOK, a little difference in the mix can go a long way.

    I'm trying to do the same thing right now and everyone I ask says to try test panels with the same primer/sealer/base as you expect to use. And be sure to make your color decision outdoors!

    My photo shows my project in HOK KP-2CFA. It's not easy being green!
    ...at least I'm enjoying the ride!
