This is the best paint i have worked with, only thing is it's not to fond of clear laquer and may blister if it comes into contact with certain spray paints. Huge range of colours.

Thanks for the info people, but could you please add some contact details to these companies. There is no point to add them if you cant call or mail the company. I'll add autostyle so long. Sorry for the hassle.

I know where to get them, most hobby shops sell them, they are used for airbrushing. However with you being in Babylon, I really cannot supply you with addresses and so on.
