never tried them, never saw them and probably will never by those colors, only one thing I don't understand.
Quoting the Product Overview : This item is can spray paint for use in finishing models. Cement is not required, but painting is necessary.
Since when is painting required with paint..? :confused: :rolleyes: ;) :D

I have all three, they are designed for the new Honda Fit/Jazz kit. The red looks almost pink, very light, the blue is nice light blue, would look good on Modena Spider, green is nice, but a little too tame for a tuner, maybe on a luxury sedan.:)

Ohhh.... the pearl blue might be a nice alternative for my Lotus Esprit... I think Camel Yellow Esprit's are too common (but looks nice anyhow).

Anyone seen these colors in Canada a.k.a Toronto yet?

Oh, so I guess they wouldn't be appropriate for that Ferrari Azure Hyperion color (light blue metallic) unless decanted and metallic pigment added..

This is a pearl, so it's a translucent. You spray over a metallic base, such as silver or what-not. Would probably look awesome on the new Ferrari Enzo or similar.

On that note, I see HLJ has the Enzo in stock. Still waiting (rather impatiently) for this kit in the UK. Has anyone got one yet? Has it hit the US shores yet? This kit looks awesome, and is definitely a must-have for my collection...

Whoa, never knew pearls were translucent...thanks for the tip!

I got the Enzo a while ago, but have had other projects keeping me busy. Here's a thread of the contents
