The Mirage paint is a realy fun paint to use on models or anything. If entering it at a contest, it really turns heads. The 3 can system isn't that hard to use, I've used to 2-3 times and have had great results every time. I don't know what color your gonna use, but the purple to green looks more like the $600/pint real thing. Really its your money and your choice.

If you're going to mix brands, wait at least a week between the clear coat and the color coat. If you really want to use the mirage paint, go ahead.

The Mirage system is really easy to use and you get great results .
Recoat in an hour and being lacquer it's very sandable.

There should be enough in the system for 2 or 3 cars so $20 isn't all
that bad !!
