Good morning. I have posted a couple of times here and always have gotten alot of help. I have a question that some may help with. I just finished the MOD tutorial for the Photorealistic Car model, and think I would add a metal flake to the paint. I think I can add something in the layered shader. Can anyone give me an idea of where to start with such a thing. I am pretty fair with Photoshop.

Thanks for any help!!!

i dont know how to do that but you can check out highend 3d and they have some free car paint shaders with metal flakes, maybe you can see how they are connected and try to simulate it.

Many Thanks YoungLion. I will check that and see if maybe I can understand how it is put together.
