It's perfect on multi-part bodies where you are never going to show the wood but you want to make it special somehow. Maybe there is a tasteful way to do it, either over-the-top balls-out pink DiPinto, or something muted or bursted.

So true! And flake is even harder. You can get a subtle shimmer by mixing pearlescence powder into the clear coat mixture and then spray it on.
