Was experimenting with metal flake car paint, and in the process couldn't resist adding some orange peel, for a really ugly paint job look!

This is very nice, thanks for sharing it would come in handy in the LiveDB for use on machinery and crude robotics. This is akin to a spray paint job on pitted metal.

Thanks Tugpsx. I'll post it there. I've never posted materials before, so I just need to learn how. Should be a snap.

Material is in LiveDB. It is called "Metal Flake Car Paint", and is currently in the Materials/Misc folder. It may get moved into the Materials/Non-Organic/Paint folder.

Did it get a different name? I see a quick blue test but not the name you mentioned.

Nice material and good job. But I can't see it. Could you check this in LiveDB?
