I know Guitar Mill does. I've never owned anything from them, but have heard only good things about their finishing.

I got a jazzmaster body in nitro metallic from Guitar Mill. I would totally use them again for finishing if I wasn't worried about matching a color 100% (for $100 upcharge). They have examples of sparkle/flake on their site, they look legit.

Rowyco will depending on flake size. Lots of beautiful sparkle in the gallery.

Just search Rowyco in the search bar on this site. Lots of sparkle. I seem to remember Brad/Amp Ninja had a Les Paul done in like a galaxy sparkle that was cool and I think there was somebody that had a purple sparkle XII that was nutso as well. I also have a vague memory of someone on here having him do something cool that was blue, but I don't remember who or what. If I remember correctly, I think the LP was for a Backstreet Boys gig that Brad scored or something legit professional like that.

I think he does work for http://www.sullyguitars.com/ as well.

good luck getting ahold of Rowyco. I wanted him to paint one of Jazzmasters but I could never get ahold of him through email or phone. I went with MJT in the end. Rowyco's work does look great though.
