The Mr. Hobby GSI-XC04 Amethyst Purple from the Mr. Crystal Color series is supplied in an 18ml bottle and targets modellers who want a luminous purple finish. It gives a distinct sheen that looks good under display lighting.
This shade performs well on painted plastic kits, figures and diorama elements where a reflective, gem-like finish is desired. It is not suitable for direct use on polycarbonate RC shells without specialist prep.
Use several light coats rather than one heavy coat to capture the colour depth and avoid streaking. A primer is advised to boost adhesion and longevity, and test panels help dial in spray settings.
