I guess I need not to flake the cage, but I sure want to try, sure would POP

That was a black base... you can see it between the flakes around the edges of the photo.

I don't remember exactly what the flake was. It is always best to look at actual color chips anyway. Pictures can change the look of a color. I would advise you make a trip to your paint store, look at their charts, and see what they have available.

If nobody has charts locally, jump online and order charts from a couple suppliers. It is better to spend a few bucks, before you get into a situation that is diappointing later.
