I'm planning an upscale or two of the classic Wizard paint scheme with the back half in a deep purple color.
I've seen Krylon Color Maxx Rich Plum. Pretty decent. Available on Amazon reasonably. But I hate the newer nozzles.
I have Acryli-Quik. The purple is lighter than I want, not ideal. Might settle and do it because it's great paint and already on the shelf, but I want to do better on the color.
I've seen Testors Plum Crazy. Seems to be NLA.
Anyone know how to find something in Duplicolor? I tried the Mopar Plum Crazy and Hellraisin paint codes and nothing came up. The DE1640 engine enamel looks like it might be a good fit on color, but if I'm going to spend that kinda money, maybe there's a metallic or something that would be even nicer.
There is a Mopar factory touch-up can for Plum Crazy that's about $12/5 oz. online. Assume it wants a fairly fancy top coat.
Tamiya colors are all over the place online. TS-24 photos range from very purple and a good bet to almost blue.
Ace purple is too dark, plum is too light.
Rusto purple looks OK, but I hate Rusto.
There's also the Createx line, with some selection available at Hobby Lobby.
Any experience/opinions/preferences between all these options?
Anything else I should be looking at?
