Sorry about the caps above.
I am working on my 'instant fleets' for an upcoming local con FT game using
beads to make ships. Interesting experience, some things working, some not.
What I need to know is the brand/ name of the paint someone suggested
that was to make visors glitter (?) so I can make some of the clear plastic
bead ships more translucent (and cover up some of the glue runs.) I'd like to
see if it would work to make the clear bead ships more... space ship looking.
Gracias,

Albert Cho's pics on stargrunt.ca: "The NI face plates were first painted
silver and then coated with Tamiya Clear Acrylic (I mixed clear blue and clear
yellow, but I'm sure Tamiya has a clear green). The dark green settles into
the recesses and the silver shines through just enough near the middle. The
effect looks a bit better on the actual models IMHO. For the NAC Power Armor I
painted the face plates with gold and then covered them with Tamiya clear
shadow. These clear paints are great for gemstones as well. A warning though:
these paints are relatively thick and sticky. I wouldn't recommend using your
nicer brushes.""
For "glitter" paint, you're probably thinking of Delta Ceramcoat,

I've had good luck on visors using Folk Art's metallic colors, like Sahara
Gold or Metallic Bronze under a coat of Iridescent Pearl Glitter mixed with
the Folk Art Floating Medium. I mix them two parts medium to one part
Iridescent Pearl Glitter.
