I'm looking for some hardcore sparkle paint. Not just metallic but a sparkley paint. Where can I find this? Down at the the hobby shop?

everytime I see anything in sparkle paint, I instinctively look around for Willy the Pimp. If I don't see *him* I start looking for the vatos.

sparkle paint is hard cause it's easy to screw up. The only way to go is find a good automotive paint place and get something along the line of Kustom Kolor and talk to them about the process. It gets involved to get it right.

Folks with BAD taste

poopy, that would of been really cool too. I'll just keep it as is
That would be the only way I would repaint this guitar but it sounds a bit too involving

I don't know if I have ever seen a hobby shop out here. WTF? Is that possible? Is the east coast hobby-less? Are there chains for that shit?
I think sparkle aversion is an LA thing. We don't have low riders west of the Mississip.
