So Hi, nice to see work I did back on this forum. Thanks Georges for posting it. (merci bien)
If I can help out with orange flake questions, I'm happy to oblige. I've read the recipy and I have to say ist is difficult to compair. I use grams not pints.
The trick is doing it a lot. The whole deal with candy is that to get to a final matching result there are many different possibilities. For instance: If you take 50 grams of clear coat and one would add say 3 grams of candy concentrate one would need more layers to get to the same colour as when one uses 6 grams. (but not twice as many, it isn't that simple)
In this paricular excample you start with a silver base. But with other colours like candy gold you would already start with a gold metallic base and then top it of with a brownish ink concentrate. If you see it being painted you understand what's going on and why it is one of the most difficult paintjobs to do.
