    You will need a compressor and spray gun (not cheap if your looking for a £50 paint job) and with the paint you need you will need to order flakes (looks like glitter) and mix it with the paint ;)

    Have any of you used flake paint before though as I want to see what it looks like when finished because I do'nt want it to be really glittery but I do'nt want it to look shit basically.

    go into for sale section and look at the zip mk1 click the link to the project page thats got metal flake in it or the aerox 100 conversion on the project section that looks like it has metal flake on the frame and kickstart cover just so long as you prep your pannels well sand between coats and take care should come out lookin good
