I've always loved TVR. Some of their cars are just like.......beyond amazing...
Whats so amazing about them is their paint....its just.....like incredible.....
Does anyone know how they do it? can you buy the paint or do you have to mix it or something? I'm specificly interested in the orange/yellow chamelion paint, but any of them would just be like incredible to have.....

For small stuff, I've seen "Mirage" green/purple in rattle cans at Autozone. I'm not sure about where you can get it in spray gun cans.

For paint gun applications (vehicle painting), DuPont makes it under the name ChromaLusion and I can't recall what PPG named theirs. Duplicolor makes the spray bombs that I've seen.
