thats basically a kandy paint job. for house of kolor you have the first base color. then you apply the kandy. there's 12 different bases for 12 different shades of kandy. everyone does paint differently. well at dreamworks our boss who is the painter does his flake a little different, as for myself as well. if your going with ultra mini's you can basically mix that with first coat of clear and then go on top with 2 more and prolly be straight. and not being able to feel the flake. but with the more bigger flakes we would water sand and reclear. b/c too me i dont want to feel the flakes. and as far as flakes some look like dirt in the paint depending on what color. to me thats ugly. i mean i dont know how you flake your cars, but there's many different ways.
