I had a funny thought about how to randomly get metalflake dust onto a coat of fresh paint without leaving a pattern that may have greater concentrations in some spots and bare spots in others...

OK>.. Imagine this. You have just laid a fresh coat of paint on to the hood of your car. In front of the hood you have a large fan mounted on something so that it is blowing its airflow out and over the hood of the car.

You now stand behind the fan and slowly take little pinches of metalflake fall in front of the fan. It randomly scatters the pixie dust all over the car hood. The key here being that it is randomly spreading it.

And you could move the direction the fan is blowing to send a greater concentration to an area that isnt getting its fair share of the pixie dust...

The only shortcoming with this method is that a lot of pixie dust would be blown all the heck all over the place when it doesn't land on a wet sticky surface to adhere to.

But this is the same sort of principle you would use if you had an aerosol bomb of metalflake pixels. Instead of spray it directly at the surface you would indirectly spray it so that it disperses a little before coming in contact with the car panel...
