Testor's Purple Question

[oldcarfan]

I have part of a can of Model Masters Plum Crazy but I'm not sure if it's enough for a project. I noticed this at HL yesterday and it looks like the same color. Could it be the same paint in a new can? I'll probably buy one to try it out, but I'm curious. 

On that subject are there any other of the Model Masters paints available under a different name?

Assuming the paints are compatible, why not just use the part can for the last couple of coats?

No, that's a metal flake purple.

The one you're showing the photo of, is a lacquer color called Purple Licious. It's completely different than Plum Crazy. Their Plum Crazy lacquer was discontinued.

Sometimes the same color is reissued with a different name and I was kind of hoping this would be the case here. Thanks for the info.

I found the real Plum Crazy in the Mopar touch up line that looks great.

Apologies for the poor lighting, but here are the Model Master Plum Crazy and Purplicious side by side.

The Purplicious is more blue-ish and has that heavy flake the Extreme lacquers are known for.
