I did all the gel work and yes it's the biggest flake you can get. The shiny picture is the gel flat sanded and two good coats of glasurit 923 255 automotive clear which is really good and expensive clear that we spray at our shop

As far as body work which there was a lot just cost in materials and a lot of time I have like $300( sand paper, tape, plastic, polyester primer, filler and resin). Then in gel coat and flake I have like 5-600. It helps when you work in a body shop and can do a lot of it myself.
