Unreferenced date December 2009 Metallic paint , also called polychromatic or metal flake paint, is used on the majority of new automobile s sold. Citation needed date June 2008 Metallic paint can reveal the contours of Coachwork bodywork more than non metallic, or solid paint, Close up, the small metal flakes included in the paint create a wikt sparkling sparkling effect. Description Metallics nearly always consist of a base coat with a clear lacquer or urethane top coat for protection and extra gloss. Historically, it was difficult to achieve an invisible repair if the paint was damaged because it is critical at which angle the flakes in the paint lie. Modern techniques have more or less eliminated this problem. Variations Two rarer variations are pearlescent paint , which appears as subtly different colours depending on the angle and intensity of the light, and flip colours where the colour changes more radically e.g. from purple to orange depending on the viewing angle. Flip colours have been used by Nissan on some special editions, and are frequently associated with TVR cars. A final variation, hardly ever used on automobiles but common on bicycle s and motorcycle s, is flamboyant or candy apple paint. This consists of a metallic silver base coat covered with a translucent coloured lacquer, or more commonly urethane. Flamboyant paint gives an unusual effect of depth, but is almost impossible to touch up after damage without leaving an obvious mark.
