Protoform GTR and me trying to create a custom color using Tamiya’s polycarbonate (lexan) paint.
1/2 a can of the Iridescent purple/green. However, I wish I would’ve done the entire can.
Then I laid down a few layers till I used the entire can of Anodized Champagne Gold
Usually with the gold and iridescent you wanna lay down a dark color to make those colors come through. However, I wanted something subtle, so I opted for Corsa Grey
I then cut out the protective film on the outside to paint the plastic trim. The paint will show kinda flat on the outside giving it that appearance of plastic.
Finished result under LED lighting
Some decals on and with some outdoor lighting.
The iridescent comes through very mildly (which is why I wished I did a few more layers) but in all came out nice, like a factory Pearl.
