[Vwdiesel] add metal flake metallic to TREMCLAD rust paint?

[James Hansen]

Dude, forget the spray bombs and brush or roll it on.  I kid you not.
You could mix some Al powder into it for metallic...  but seriously, the
brush marks are there when you are done for the first five minutes.  Let it
sit undisturbed until dry, and the marks flow out and are GONE.  Try it.  I
couldn't believe it the first coat I put on the rollcage of my new car.  All
the brush sins were gone the next morning.  Way I look at it with autobody,
you can do it all right the first time, or just dump a can on the roof and
spread it with a broom. Eventually, the results all look the same if you
don't go all out and do it right the first time.

I bought an el-cheapo $5.00 can of GLOSS TREMCLAD dark blue paint today to
see if it would look alright on the Golf.  I think I am going to spray this
color on once it gets a bit warmer outside.  Maybe a month or so's time.
Just breaking the freezing point most days here currently.

I'll go back and get more paint, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there
was somehow an easy and CHEAP way to add a bit of metallic to this pastel
solid colored paint.  Metallic car paint and all that goes with it, is WAY
out of my budget for this car, but if I could add even a wee bit of sparkles
to this paint, it would really set it off.

ideas? info?

thanks!
