I've always wanted to spray something with some large metal flake. I've seen the Flake Buster and it looks like it would be a good deal.

I'm guessing it wouldn't work very well on an overall, but for smaller things it seems like it would work well. The airbrush one would probably work well on little things like helmets and tanks/fenders. I was thinking intercoat clear with a slow reducer sprayed prior.
However, I've also read siphon feed guns with large ball bearings work well also. Mix the flake in some intercoat, spray it out, flash overnight, bury in clear.
Lastly, if I found out I loved spraying/playing with flake I could invest in a gravity feed with air powered agitator, but that's a pipe dream at this point.
Anyways, I'm mainly wondering what those of you (preferably those who have experience with both) enjoy more, Flake Buster or spraying with flake suspended in a carrier.
