Lots of us have a favourite colour, but I suspect it takes an artist or a car guy to have a favourite shade, by a particular manufacturer of said colour. This is mine.
Based on a Tamiya rattlecan colour, Zero Paint's take on Mica blue is such a beautiful tone I cant help but share it. Responsive to different colour base coats, you can get a number of subtle variations of the shade by using different primers and bases.
Not without it's perils though...Revell plastic seems particularly prone to wrinkling and crazing without a VERY good coat of primer (or six) and I've ruined several bodies in the course of trying to find a good base for this colour.
Hardest thing is to not use it on every project!
