All the paint on my car is tamaya acrylic enamel. First I sprayed silver with a lil bit off there clear orange mixed in with it. It made sort of a gold cause I was out of gold and didnt want to go to the hobby store. After that I used there clear yellow with a couple drops of clear green to get that lime yellow color. The green was almost just the straight clear green with a lil bit off the yellow in it also. You could have also used a silver base instead of the gold but I wanted a darker color. Also a lil trick I have learned off of the net is that you can thin the tamaya acylics with windex or alcohol instead of buying there brand thinner. Oh and one other thing I forgot. You cant see it to well in the picture but on the hood I tryed to make it look like marble but it doesnt show up well in those pics. To do that I spray it black. I try and give it a heavy coat so it doesnt dry to fast. After that I have a plastic grocery bag near by and I have it already as wrinkled up as I can get it. While the black is still wet press the bag on the paint and pull it off real quick and it should leave it marble looking. If it pulls off to much then just add more black and do it again. Hope that helps out a bit.
