I believe Tamiya's Paint for Polycarbonate also comes in Pink. You can also mix your own shade from FasKolor (if they don't already have it in their extensive line). Whatever you do, DO NOT USE DUPLICOLOR AUTO TOUCH UP!!!!!!

Whatever you do, DO NOT USE DUPLICOLOR AUTO TOUCH UP!!!!!!I've used Duplicolor Auto rattle cans for parts of a paint scheme before... and had no problems... what are you referring to, Mike? I think there may have eventually been some flaking or separating in some areas (tops of fenders where there was some minor flexing during shunts), but overall, it worked okay. I put it on in very light coats.

I searched through the tamiya line of paints and they have pink and purple.

Hey NotWalkinBlind.....
How's it going? I used some DupliColor Auto Touch Up spray to paint my project Focus. I did my usual prep; sand and wash thoroughly, but the paint still lifted faster than Marilyn Monroe's skirt on a windy day! I actually tested it first on a scrap piece (I always keep my scrap trimmings) and got some very good results. So I was surprised. Perhaps I laid on too thick a coat or perhaps it was because I backed it with Pactra Indy Silver? Anyway, belated happy b-day! :D

I don't always). I figure if there's any kind of chemical slime or skin oil on the inside of the body, I don't wanna imbed it deeper with sanding... so I wash first.
It wouldn't surprise me if you wash first, but just forgot to say you did.
