Translucent Paint

I'd like to find out about translucent paint. The stuff you can paint lights to color them ,but it still lets light shine through.

anybody know if this is true or am I talking out my arse?

Testors makes transparent red and amber enamel in bottles and red,yellow,blue in rattle cans and they call them "candy colors".
I'm sure Tamiya makes them too !

sweet thanks.

Have a look at your local model shop for the following colours

X-23 = clear blue
