Alot of lowriders still use flake.
I just painted a motorcycle solid red flake.
Took about 12 coats of clear to bury it all enough to be wetsanded out. It
looks absolutely amazing though.
House of Kolor has a very nice selection of flakes,
as does OSF (Old School Flake)
Good luck!

Metal flake takes A LOT more work
to hand sand after it has been applied.
I did a 68 Camaro while in high
school with a black base and blue/green
metal flake on top. It
looked green/black during the day and blue/black at
night. Kind
of weird.
