I wonder if this is his son, the reason I wonder is that Roth's son has been on Ian's show on TV. This last week Ian built a Trike and the young Roth showed up with some spry cans he is marketing with the big flake paint.

Yes this is Dennis Roth, Ed's son. I met him and his mother at a car show years ago. I actually have a T Shirt sign by them

There are some YouTube Videos with him and he seems a little way out there, that Acorn didn't fall to far from the tree.

While I have not used those paints I feel like I should mention that "metal flake" implies large metallic flakes in the paint.  Those will likely look *WAY* out of scale on a 1:25 model car.  That is something that to  me destroys the realistic look of a model.  Some Testors metallic paints (not even considered "metal flake" paints) have large metallic particles which look really weird on a model.  This oversize flakes problem really shows up in photos of a model (not so much when viewed in-person).  But of course it doesn't bother some modelers.

The flake comes in 4 sizes. The Rattle Bomb aerosol cans come in the smallest size. Watching the videos may help you decide if it is for you. I was mainly interested in the Kandy

You can't help but think he's trying, almost too hard, to be his father. His products may be interesting for a 1:1 project, but out of scale for what we're doing here.

The show Custom Garage just used some of his metal flake on one of Ian's wild VWtrike. I went to the website and it seemed kit prices were between 50 and 70 bucks. As been said the flake may be too large but I am interested in the pearls.  I may buy a kit after the holiday. If so I will give a report.
