Large (1/64th) flake on white looks like pepper. You should go with pearls or ppg flamboyance pearl which comes in a variety of colors

THIS color owns.

Lloyd are you friends with Garret Nikolich? If so are you the guy who has the OS Giken twin disc, and RE-A Twin turbo kit for sale? The SN seems familiar. If so i'm interested in buying the clutch.

sorry if i'm confusing you with someone else, and sorry for the thread jack.

thats why you gotta powdercoat ****. it doesnt just melt away, or deteriorate like paint.
but it also can be expensive
