YES all paint will come off if there is dirt under there but the flakes are alot easier your best bet is to get someone to do it for you if you wanna go down the flake path. if you stuff it up its a big job to clean it all up and respray it again. unlike paint you can rub the section back and respray with flake you would need to do it all over as by doing a section it will come out different then the rest of the car. also with the flake you should spray it in one go evenly to keep an even spread of the stuff all over. doing section by section will usually cause some parts to have it packjed in with flake and others to have nothing there [Report message to a moderator]
