Way Kool!!!!!!

I know I'm gonna love your airbrush work John, but it will have to play second fiddle to the interior. The upholstery just turned out fantastic. It's fancy, yet basic at the same time. Great work capturing the look of the 1:1.

You can get that type of flake at pretty much any place that sells automotive paint. They call it micro sequin.

Thanks Curt... I wasn't sure if they were HOK's mini flake or not. One of the automotive paint suppliers i get some of my supplies here in the phoenix valley has a few different brands.
