Try http://tinyurl.com/dpjnr At http://www.micro-tools.com/Merchant2/paint.htm I found fine enamel colors only; flat black (which I am using for my Canon VTdL project) and glossy black. You might check http://www.rustoleum.com/ too (BTW their hammertone colors http://tinyurl.com/bk85v are used by several LHSA members). Doing at home: yes if - you are skilled to disassemble and especially reassemble a M3 - you have an airbrush opportunity (except you find the color in aerosol cans) - you have a good stove with at least 280?C (enamel crackle colors must be fired) Didier >I've seen black crackle (crinckle?) paint for sale on the net.
