best bet is to check custom car shops, they usually have stuff like that, or know of where to get it.
Are you rich Iceman ?
From waht I understand, it's called "Mystic" and I think it's Duron that makes it.
Apparently when soemone wants the job, they have to go to a car shop that is licensed by Duron to paint it AND are not allowed to give samples of the paint, chips, or anything, and have a certain way they have to clean the tools that they use for the job.
It's like 6 layers of paint or somesuch.
I have a friend who is into Nopi and he has a car done in that paint job... it seems to "flex" to different colors.
Cost him around $7k for the whole car.

He was. However, Cynni mentioned a blanket prohibition on giving out samples. If they're really serious about such a policy, they probably wouldn't do it just because you claim it's for a model car, even if you show them the model car you intend to paint. Of course, if you've got a good friend in the business it's probably a different story...
Oh okay, I didn't realize that the paint ice was looking for was for cars only.
I did some searching, and came up with this mystic faq,

It says:
So to get the exact color mystic would be pretty hard, i'm sure, but as it says, there are other similar alternatives...
edit: that the chrmomalusion you mentioned is and if this guy can paint his model with chromalusion, i'm sure you can too, as for where to get it, I'm stumped.

Mystic is the color that looks basically a greenish purple and then "flexes" into a purple/blue/golden/bronze/green/pink haze.
I wish I still had pix of my friend's car.
I also wish I remembered more about it.
It took them almost 2 weeks to do the paint job on his car b/c of the multiple layers of paint.
I imagine if you could find paint that is like, clear with a slight tint, you might be able to duplicate the effect.

Why are you no longer in VA anymore, Mysticales ?
Family issues had to run to germany to see them.
Ah, I thought your family was in the army or something.
