It's House of Kolor sold in hobby bottles by Black Gold, airbrushed using Gunze Mr. Thinner. That's a little secret few people know about, as it allows much better spraying w/o the side effects of plastic etching. The Skyline etched last night using regular lacquer thinner; I sanded it smooth today and reapplied the paint w/the different thinner...I'm trying to conserve it as I haven't received a replacement bottle yet. It's been hard to find for years. I ordered some today, I only just recently found a source who has it.

Black Gold does offer the paints in spray cans as well. If you can afford the full House of Kolor paint chip book, it's a great reference and you can order those colors from Black Gold.
