    My GOD, rust flake...I had an idea once to put some of my uncles ashes in the clearcoat of his racecar. It didn't go over too well. My uncle would've LOVED it though.

    American, ET and Halibrand use grit in silver paint on their "as cast" wheels. The permanent mold process used nowadays doesn't leave a sandcast finish, so they have to create it. I think the metalflake cast finish is cool because it looks like sandcast in the shade and sparkles in the sun.

    Humbly and with modest modesty plus humile humilityness I offered it for perusal. It's ***** and I dig it....

    That would be awesome. I always wanted to have mine baked into a cake and served at my party/funeral. No one would know until after they were done and a video would play where I would tell them that they just ate me.

    Here are the pics Tim.
    The flake sparkles, but that's the flash of the camera.....;) The black flake doesn't sparkle under the clear in the sun.......weird stuff man...
    Ya really can't see the shift to flat black.....no sun today in the great NW, go figure...haha....but you can just make out the "Trippin" flake and the blue. I also added a 'touch' of gold pearl dust for good measure.:D
