Thanks, i liked the dark blue one, was looking pretty good actually "out of the box" also i've noticed that these are made bit differently than mine, i did mine using a mirror shader as coat and base as plastic(ish) looking, then mixed with falloff.
That propably what i was doing wrong, now i just need to find/make good flakes map or try to play with these included.


Kinda happy with this one, still there's a problem to fix: black flakes, not sure how to fix that yet.

also a lot of these flake car paint textures make it a real pain to adjust the overall base color of the car. The flakes and colour of car should be independent and make it easy to adjust the color of the car. The node setup can be better imo, although i tried doing it myself and its no walk in the park. Vray has a flake car paint ready to go and very easy to adjust the colours.
