You dont actually buy metalflake lacquer, you buy pots of flakes, much like glitter and add it to the lacquer by yourself to a ratio your happy with.
Generally your looking around 40quid per 90 gram tub. (not sure if its 90 grams)... depending on how much of an effect your looking for will reflect on how much flake you need.

£37.98 including VAT from Rage for 90 grams. You need two pots to do a Corsa with a little left over - dpending on the effect that is... You mix it in to the laquer and paint it over the ground coat

Depends on the look your trying to achieve, the blue would certainly stick out more. My choice would be silver metalflake over silver base... would look more tastefull

Not strictly metal flake but similar:
It is a Crystal flake by Rage which flips and in bright light sparkles intensely...

Not sure. wouldnt it just need the laquer rubbing off and then re-laquered with the metalflake rather than a full respray?
