Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what was done.
It was a free sample and I was shocked at the flake - expecting pure clear.

I would have expected pure clear as well. I'm not sure what he did... You usually shoot flake in an intercoat layer. They are not distributed throughout the clear coats. You basically shoot the color coats first then a layer or two of clear with flake mixed into it. You then follow with a few coats of pure clear. Maybe his gun was dirty...
