>What really irritated me is that the person has no idea about what they're talking about. Absolutely... I'm also surprised no one seems to be commenting about how he's just kind of wrong in the technical explanation. He says "flake" is "the tiny metallic flecks that car manufacturers have been mixing into paint for decades" and that new cars have less "flake". But that's kind of wrong... the type of cars he's complaining about generally have mica/pearl flecks, which are ceramic/silicate, not metallic. Mica/pearl paints are a little less flashy to the eye than metallics, and manufacturers have dialled down the amount of mica just a little in addition to that.
