Metal flakes

Sorry for the dumb question, but do paint shops like Sherman Williams carry metal flakes to add to paint? Or do I have to order this stuff online?

Medium and fine metal flake is available at most Automotive paint stores.

Large metal flake is often a special order item.

Sherman Williams paint stores are often house and industrial paint stores.

Try someone carrying Dupont, PPG, Valupro and the like for the automotive industry.
