you can get some from craft stores such as Micheals but......
you gotta watch which ones you get. most of it is big flake. which makes the car rough as hell like if you dropped it in the dirt with the paint still wet.
so look at the caps and get something really fine.
you can get it in a couple differant colors too.
But my personal prefferance is to use it with Kandies.

Spray your primer,
Spray your base,
Spray 1 - 2 light coats of Kandy,
Spray the glitter coat,
lay down another couple light coats of Kandy,
Then go with a good 2 -3 coats of Testors HIGH GLOSS #1814

some people might agree or dissagree with my methods, it's all a personal taste.

It's up to you, I was only suggesting how i go about using the product to kind of lead you in the right direction.
You've seen some of my paint jobs ;)

Good Luck! :thumbsup:

You can also get a metallic paint, and just spray several coats on thin and then spray a couple heavy coats, gives it a scaled down flake look. Instead of that big ass silver dollar flake.
thats what i do 98% of the time is use a metallic base and Kandy over it.
Then on pearls well....... thats already got its flake in it just like metallic colors.

the only time i use the spray glitter is for that big ass ghetto flake look like on the old dune buggies and shit. lol
