On the LiveDB there is a material called "Metal Flake Car Paint" in the paint category. There's an intermediary material downloaded along with it, I've been using in some illustrations since it looks awesome. I am have trouble figuring out how to change the colors, though. If i mess with any of the properties it simply turns white and into some generic looking material. I'd like to change the blue/yellow to different colors if possible.

Hi,
With the Node Editor of the last versions, it's far easier to understand this shader. For this one, there is 3 mixed materials: 1 for the thin coat and 2 for the colors; mixed with noises. Here a screen capture. As you can see, it's easier to change the colors of the shader and to see the structure with the node editor.
