I bought this one as a built up that just needed some detailing. This one was kind of hard to get a good picture of. The paint is ChromaLusion. Depending on the light it is a deep metallic purple, that changes to a lighter purple, blue and green. I was really lucky to get this painted body for $9.99. Just the paint sells for around $30 per ounce or about $175 pint. Not to mention the base coat and skill needed to do the actual paint job.
