I went to Auto Zone, they had white, gloss white, a number of different whites, but nothing pearl, or metallic.

FM that is Cy Girl Aurora. Robby The Robot like space suit.

I was going to ask about her.
Thanks for the link.

Well so much for that.
Looks like everyone is sold out.:unsure
They are probably out of production.

You can find Aurora on EBAY, but last I looked, she was fetching (not in the eye candy sense) more than cover (3-5 times) price.

I forgot about Tamiya. I've got a place that sells it. I was going to use Dupli-Colors White sandable primer before painting it the final color.

Well I don't have an ebay account but there is one on there at $12.50 in a sealed box for anyone that is interested.

Well, hobby shop had Tamiya (for plastic) Pearl White (TS-45). I bought a can of it. I have no idea of how it will adhere to the Dupli-Color White Sandable Primer. I went to all the auto stores and didn't find any spray cans of Pearl White. However, I did find something that I didn't know existed... Wet or Dry Sandpaper in P800 and 1500 grit! Wow! The 1500 is softer and smother than some of the skivvies the USMC issued me. Previous to today, I didn't know this high grade stuff was around. I had seen 320 and I thought that was high, man was I off. I can feel my brain getting larger and more full of knowledge at this very second!

I thought 600 grit was nice until I discovered 2000. One of the painters in our shop used to paint art on Harley's and she had the 2000 grit.

i thought so to, use it on a D/A wet. it starts to shine before a buffer ever touches the paint. we used it on aircraft to buff out runs after going through all the other grits first. but it works.
