What type of spray paint has small glitter specks in it? Or is there a glitter only spray paint that's used first and then a flat color? Thanks!!

Awesome! Thanks for the infoI bought some purple metal flake paint for a drone but it wasn't made for lexan or polycarbonate and didn't stick. I quickly learned that lexan paint is key.
Here's what Tamiya has in a flake but not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Here are all their colors for polycarbonate / lexan in spray cans

Here are some Proline "pearl and metallic" paints that would require an airbrush system (I have a cheap one but haven't used it yet.) I also plan to use Proline paints when I get set up with a better compressor.

Hope you find what you need.
Be keen to see how you got. I have a body to paint but have never got around to it yet. I’m quite interested in the airbrush systemsI bought some purple metal flake paint for a drone but it wasn't made for lexan or polycarbonate and didn't stick. I quickly learned that lexan paint is key.

I also bought some clean line tape for masking at Home Depot:I got the $20 kit from Harbor Freight with a hose and the inline water separator. My pancake compressor has too small of a tank so maybe in a couple weeks I'll find a new tank and modify it to have a secondary storage so my paint will spray true without having to engage the electric compressor as often. I'm still learning about the process, technique and tools required but I watched a video that gave me some help and confidence.

Below is the compressor that I use in my basement. It doesn't really run all that often while I'm brushing. One thing to keep in mind is that the one gallon tank is stored at 120psi while I am spraying at 20-22psi. So that one gallon of compressed air lasts for awhile. I am still debating upon adding a storage tank to the chain sometime down the road, but it isn't an immediate need.I got the $20 kit from Harbor Freight with a hose and the inline water separator.

I did some research and learned that this is a good product that helps make tight clean lines and easy to apply and especially remove.
Thank you very much for the tips!Below is the compressor that I use in my basement. It doesn't really run all that often while I'm brushing.

For my airbrrush paints I have used Mission Models standard paints and pearl paints for RC cars as well as Proline paints and they both work really well. My favorite though is the Mission Models pearl paints. https://www.amainhobbies.com/search?s=mission+models+pearl
I'm still fairly new to airbrushing and have only done 4 bodies with it but figured I'd try to help out the little that I can.Thank you very much for the tips!
I certainly appreciate your insight and have more questions that I think I'll ask in a new thread specifically to address airbrushing.I'm still fairly new to airbrushing and have only done 4 bodies with it but figured I'd try to help out the little that I can.
