The Duratrax is supposed to be shipping as of this week. I'm going to try a few colors but I mainly use rattle cans for backing colors so coverage is more important than anything to me.

We went for the full Spazstik line and so far, except for being out of a few key colors, I am happy. They are very interested in input from painters and are reformulating a couple colors because of comments from consumers. The candy blue is currently being reworked so that it sticks better. Candy blue in Pactra always seemed to have similar issues, Spazstik is attempting to cure the problem. I have talked to them about the white not being as opaque as the Pactra was and that is next on the list of things to look into.

The wide variety of candy and florescent colors makes life much easier. Especially not having to tap cans of Flo Green and Blue to make airbrush colors.

I spoke to my LHS which is a distributor and they actually can order alot of the colors but unfortunately the pc280 metallic black is not out yet.
Maybe they are working on it still as you mentioned...

In either case they are going to notify me when its available

I was told that the Duratrax paint is the same formula as Pactra. I have been using two spray cans of Duratrax, flo yel and white. They both spray and cover great, dry fast, stick good etc. But it does not smell the same as pactra. I know that when I have switched brands of thinner in the past the odor was very different, maybe its just the thinner? No indy silver yet, and no airbrush bottles yet either.

I don't see my beloved "Fiery Orange" in stock yet, but fingers crossed it comes back, I'm down to only 3 cans left from my stock pile and have been worried about how to re-create my racing color after I run out of stock!

It also looks like they've changed their labels too:

EDIT

I just went to the website to see the full list of available colors, and confirmed they are bringing back Fiery Orange, I couldn't be happier today!!!

Just bought and used this paint. Have been painting one color practice bodies for years. The paint cracks when you bend the body (stress cracks) like there's not enough flexible agent there. Anyone else have this issue? I follow my normal process of mild detergent to clean body, thin coats to cover, few days to dry.

I like to use E6000 as a backer on any problem areas like the bumpers to prevent any flaking/cracking of the paint
