Anyone have a recipe for a custom blend to get this color? Are there any paints near this color straight out of the bottle? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked Faskolor or Createx Auto-Air colors yet? I am pretty sure I have seen something close to this not positive. What are you painting this on? Hopefully a Mopar.

I just ordered up a bottle of Faskolor's Faslucent Pink. I'm painting up a Mopar-inspired 1/8 buggy body in honor of the birth of my newest daughter. She could be here any day, and I plan on running a pink body for at least a few races.

Definite congrats on the baby girl!! I've been hoping that RespirologyRC will come along and share some knowledge. He's done a couple using an awesome looking pink, but I think he was using Faskolor Rasberry and backing it with white. Hopefully, he'll come along and share his pink recipe.

you may want to start with a fluo pink or similar color and dumb it down with a little blue or black. you may be able to just spray fluo pink straight and back it with a darker color.

Thanks for the idea. I have some Fluorescent Red, which is basically a hot pink, that I added a bit of blue and purple to. It's close to what I want, but isn't quite the shade I want.

I'll post pics when it's finished. My son asked "You're actually going to run that body at the track?!" LOL

If anyone comes up with the special mix for Panther Pink, I'm looking for a good Lime Light Green. My fiance' works for Dodge Motorsports and has a HPI Hemi 'Cuda body for his E-Maxx that he's dying to paint Lime Light Green....any help would be appreciated!

you could try fluo green backed with fasyellow, sounds like it might work.

Casey: probably a bit late now - but as Piggy said, Faskolor Fasfluorescent Razberry is very close to that pink, and if backed with white most likely would be nearly spot on.

SVTMaxx: I'm not sure exactly what colour you're looking for, but you could try mixing in white with either Faskolor Faspearl Key Lime or Fasfluorescent Green until you get the lightness that you need.

Not too late yet. I'll see what the Faslucent Pink looks like when it gets here. If that won't cut it, I'll try the Fasfluorescent Razberry you suggested. Thanks!

SVTMaxx - My normal race color is basically that Mopar green(Limelight/Sub-Lime). I took a bottle of Fasfluorescent Yellow and added a few drops of Faspearl Green. Here's what I ended up with:
