Not a topic I'm particularly well-informed about, but metallic (or polychromatic as they were called early on) auto paints on Packard date to at least 1933, perhaps a year or two earlier. I don't have any actual forumlas prior to 1935 but they call for a true metallic content; perhaps naturally occurring materials were used in the very early years but even if so, certainly by 1935 that was no longer the case.
