    need some help from someone who knows (NOT ME)
    can this be done on metal?
    to reproduce the old 50's fishscale metallics?

    The best way to get these results are the methods they used back then, paint with big flakes added. Talk to your local automotive paint supplier.

    You will also need the proper nozzle and a cup with agitator.

    gel coat

    so does this mean gel coat cannot be applied to metal?
