yes any good body shop should be able to get it...
house of colour is the most recognized company..although..i hope you do realize..that type of paint is rather expensive..

What you are looking for is a product made by BASF, patented by Ford called miracle paint, and it it very expensive, here in Canada about $500. a pint last time I used it.
It is a very cool effect, a variety of colours available but I have heard it can be a bitch to touch up.
Coolest application I ever saw was a co-workers Cell phone!

DuPont ChromeIllusion - plenty to choose from, expensive but we have it at my shop. To expensive in my opinion. I wont pray my car with it, and i can do it for free.

dupont, ppg, and house of kolors all have the "chromilusion" paint however only dupont calls it such.
figure on anywhere from a 220-1,000 range for a pint depending on what brand and color combo. saleen has the most wild version out there. they charge a cool 20 g's on top of their price for it.
i had thought about it on my own car but there wasn't a color in any of them that i liked enough to go with it. sometimes i wish i had as it would have been alot cheaper then my candy paint and much easier to fix in case of a accident.
do a search as there are a few thirdgens painted in that color. if you can afford it and you like it i say go for it.

check this stuff out....all you do is put it over a base color to acheive diffrent color changes and its only like 400 for a gallon which would be enough for a whole car. here are a few examples as well as the website.

definately has a low rider element to it....i personally like the dupont and ppg colors better for their luster but if you like the thicker flakes that may be a better choice. it looks alot like the krylon stuff.
