Default 8774 red has sparkles?

Hey I just got my SS spoiler painted in what I asked for 8774 red. However I noticed some sparkles in the paint. Is this standard in 8774 red? I know the rest of my car doesn't have any sparkles and it is 8774. Attached is a pic, the spoiler is on the right side and you can see the sparkles in it, in person it is much more noticeable. Thanks for the any help

No 8774 doesn't have any metalic in it. They were either painting something with metalic when they painted your spoiler, had metalic still in gun, or paint was contaminated. I'd make them redo it.

Default Metallic or pearl in gun

Correct analysis Gentlemen, There was a lttle metallic or pearl left over inthe spray gun when it was cleared. That's why I use seperate guns for clear and color...
