It is Flint MICA for a reason. Mica is the same thing that goes into pearl paints and reflect the light the way it does. It's in BSP as well. It's prolly really not THAT much, but the way it catches light makes it look that way.
That's a good paint job, btw.

nice stuff, Neb. since you're a painter, do you know if they make a silver version of flint mica. that sounds weird, but what i'm saying is a silver colored paint that has that glitter ____ in it like our FM paint. I like your hvac there, but my car "theme" has silver accents in the seats and door panels, shift **** and e-brake. I want to paint my hvac, but definitely need to keep it silver and i'd like something different than the stock color.
also, what do you paint? are you a pure painter or an artist as well? my brother's company makes goalie masks and helmets and is always looking for good artists/painters.
