Metallic Paint

Is there by chance a way to remove the metal flake, from metallic paint?
I like the color, its just got a bit too much flake. I'm airbrushing.

Thanks.

Maybe try a magnet....? ;)

I depends how fine the flake is. But you could try using a very fine paint strainer. Most body shop suppliers sell them. They look like a paper funnel, conical shaped with mesh in the end. You can get fine grades. Try running the paint through it a few times and it should remove some of the courser flakes...
