A question from a friend prompted me to do a paint test using flat Clear on the inside of lexan before the main color. I tested a metallic silver and cobalt green with half using the flat clear as the first coat and the other half without.
I was a bit surprised that when I used a metallic silver after the flat clear it brought out the metal flake even more. It seemed to have no real effect on the colored main coat though.
Seems like this could be a nice way to get more flake in some paintjobs.
The main goal of this test was to prove that a flat clear on the inside will not look flat from the outside which it doesn't.
