Pearlescent White Paint

Anyone know where I can find a Pearlescent White Spray paint? Automotive of whatever. I'm working on a Lotus Esprit 40th Anniversary Edition, and need this color to paint the body. Here's what one of the real cars looks like:



I believe this is the Lotus Paint code:
A089B6184V Paint-Pearlescent White

Or if nobody makes it, what would be close? Thanks!

The color looks about right in the pics, I'll go check teh local hobby shop to see if they have it tomorrow. TS-45 Pearl White

Nice site, BTW. I saw you have a Lotus Esprit Sport 300 in the street cars section. They all look very well built.

Re: Pearlescent White Paint

I used Tamiya White Primer

the Pearl White is really "clear" so you will need a nice white base coat before using it.. (you can try other color too, that make interesting color)

as for the Lotus, well I put it on my site becose many ppl love it, but it was a kid made about 10 years ago and quality is horrible if you look what I make now
