    Metal flake question

    I searched and found and now have lost and can not find a place that sold clear metal flakes. The flakes themselves are clear thus allowing any base color thru. Any help? Thanks

          Thanks for the replys. All I could find were 4 translucent flake colors on the HOK site. I want clear flakes with no color what so ever.
          I found a site once and now have lost it. Damn, should have printed it off. Maybe it was European or English site?

            I guess I'm missing something..... Why would you want something that your not going to be able to see...... Just a question........

                Thanks hawkstone that should do. The reason for clear flake (so I have been told as I am no painter) is it will reflect the base coat no matter what the color.

                      Thanks to all that replied. Hawkstone hit it. The reason for the clear flake is I want Daytona yellow with bassboat type flake. A base of yellow and colored flakes might get weird. Might come out mustard., gold, greenish tint. Its a long term project and will paint this winter or spring. FYI its a 1947 full fender Chief
