Need paint suggsetions

I need some hot pink paint for a blank. I've done it before mixing pigment with flex coat but really didn't like it too much. I'm wanting to find a paint that is flexible and I think I'm gonna try to airbrush some permagloss as a tough clear coat. I'm just having trouble finding the hot pink paint.

Thanks,
Steve

Testors "Pactra" has one that will about burn your eyes if that's hot enough...

It has a Flex Agent, is available in bottles or spray cans, and works well with Perma Gloss over coats. Try a Hobby Shop that has R/C Car supplies, or search it online.

Thanks Mark! It definitely will need that flex agent. Thanks for the help! Which would be the best....the lacquer or the acrylic?

A couple of yrs ago, when I was doing this, I couldn't find any pink Pactra, so I used Tamiya, which is also for polycarbonate.

I liked the Pactra in the other colors I could get

I've always used the acrylic.

Jerry makes a good point on the undercoats. You can get a ton of different effects. White under the pink will give the truest color match to the sample sheets, but metallics like the silver mentioned can give it more "depth".

Createx Auto Air Paints!

Do not know if it can handle a Permagloss top coat though. I use automotive clears.
