A pearlescent Satin colour. Im doing a Trek Kit and need this colour for the aztec pattern on the 1/350 PL Model. Ive seen a few people use a pearlescent satin colour and it looks great. As i understand it it can be obtained through WASCO in America/Canada. So if anyone knows any UK brands that can suply this sort of stuff it would be a lot of help!

What about some Future/Johnson's Klear mixed with a bit of pearl powder and some Tamiya flat? Might not be perfect, but something to hink about.

There's also some nice pearlescent craft paints you might find at your local analogue to Hobby Lobby or Michael's.
