Where can I find the correct color of paint (base coat, top coat) to get a more original looking finish.

Thank you! Though I have heard through the years that they all had a little different shade but I would like to have the color as close as posible. The original paint is awsome! :thumbup:

You just have to keep cloating the layers of candy until you get the deepness you like.
