What is the biggest flake you can do and what colors can you do flakes in? Im looking for either a gloss black,blue,or yellow with some nice big flakes. Something like the flakes in the hoods that TRP or GEN-X make.

Nothing as large as you are wanting is available in a powder. You can buy the flakes and add them for an increaded amount and effect but none will match the size, and you do have to watch for a color shift if too much flake is used (black will go purple etc)

If the chrome is in really good shape (no rust, no peeling or chips) then you can do a candy color over it for an anodized look. If you want a base coat or a solid color, you need to lightly media prep the surface without damaging the chrome.
