theres a video tutorial on www.3d-palace.com for creating a car paint shader. if you're just tryin' to get rid of the flakes, delete the texture or otherwise edit the texture to lessen their noticability.

if it's the same car paint shader from Highend3d that i think it is
(thanks to Christer Dahl or KaraMuraT, not sure who to thank)

then do like TheWraith said, edit the shader.

here's what you can do:

open up the attribute editor for the car paint shader,
then scroll down to Specular Color and click on the input box

then either lower the Cell Size or the Density.

or you could change Color 1, 2 and 3 to match it to the color
you want, this will make the flakes less noticable.

hope that helps
