Bass boats aren't the only things that are metal flake, back in the '60s when I was kid, the seat on my bike was metal flake.  Kind of like this one:

i think it depends on the contrast of flake color vs adjoining colors. the Yellow near black didnt have much pop, some of the charcoal flake on dark boats does not pop as much IMO either. so it just depends. Granted beaming sunlight shinning right on it will always help!

now if they only did PINK flake the wife would be happy! 

Did somebody say PINK?

CRAZY for FLAKE!!

I have had flake on all my Axis, but this year I intend to go no flake.  Ya know, just for something different.

Just built a 2018 m235 with gunmetal metallic wig dark blue metallic accents.   I think it will look amazing.

I use the Performance Boat Candy products, Wax it twice a year with Crystal Gloss Wax and then Every time and I mean every time I pull the boat out of the water, My crew wipes it down dry and then I go over it with their Performance Boat Candy Speed Gloss, It's a hard water spot remove + has a bit of spray on wax in it, I personally think that's why it looks the way it does, and that was after 3 seasons, I prefer the Speed gloss over any other product and yes I have just about used them all, and if one were better then the speed gloss I would be using it!!

Thanks.  I'll give it a shot.  We used the hot sauce products last season.  I was happy with the exterior products and thought the interior were lacking. I'll order some and try it on our new boat this year!

I use to use Hot sauce, But for me the Boat candy speed gloss worked better, I did a side by Side trial at Shasta Lake Ca , That lake always kicked my boats butt when it came to hard baked on water spots, Before Speed gloss I had to have my Black boat buffed out each year we went there, But since the Boat Candy Speed Gloss it took off about 95% and you could barley see the rest, And then every time I used it the boat looked better and better, But you have to be diligent, Black is not a color..... Its a job!

Don't hate on metal flake. 😁

[JeffC]

I am in the camp of a little flake goes a long way, but to each their own.   Designed this from the ground up, must have done a couple dozen different schemes before I settled on this.   Personally, I think it pops, especially on a sunny Colorado summer day, and ESPECIALLY on the water.   The white tower was my stretch, not the flake.   Im glad I did it tho.

Went to the Denver Boat show this weekend, there was a LOT of flake in the building.   Clearly it sells (or at least draws), including a hot pink flake malibu that completely polarized people - either people loved it, or hated it.   It was not my cup of tea.   Im sure mine probably screams old fart owns me, but I dont really care, I only have to please me.
