First time here chaps. Looking for the blue & orange paint to do the big 1/12 Trumpeter Ford GT-40. I hear Zero has outlet in the US, as it's a FORTUNE to try and ship from Hiroboy in England. Are there any other options like automotive paint suppliers...? I understand PPG or Dupont might have a number for these colors...? This is new territory for me so I'm lookin for some help.
Cheers

MCW makes both paints in lacquer. You can order bottles for airbrushing or spray cans.

They don't have on-line ordering, though. You'll have to use fax or snail-mail, but their service is good.

I pretty sure that Gravity paints, which are also lacquer based and a direct competitor of Zero paints, has just come out with those two Gulf colors.
