Default Looking for advice on paint

I have my tins pulled off ready for paint. I like how the hd black pearl looks with the metal flake. I'd like to go that route except with a darker black more akin to vivid black and only gold flake. Has anyone had any experience with something similar to this and can point me in the right direction? Thanks

there is a ford paint color called tuxedo black. it is black with silver flake. you could change the formula to gold flake. google pics of the color pretty much every vehicle has it as an option. looks good but green with gold flake looks better. hehehe

I love that green. And if we're talking about the same I'd like to do that with black.

all you need to do is talk to a painter who isnt scared to mess with the formula. just change the silver flake in it to the gold flake in a very small batch and let you look at it. can spray it on cardboard or a piece of paper and let you see it.
