Pearl isn't hard to do on your own (but then (dull) silver is also easy). My wife keeps bugging me to give her a (completed) model to paint with sparkle nail polish. Or rather... I think she wants me to paint a model according to her design/direction.
For those few of you who remember Newtype Asylum back in last century, I entered a model-building competition at a Toys-R-us in downtown Toronto, armed with a (cheap) can of silver spray paint and bottles of transparent paint. I was solo, against 4 other teams of 3+ members each, we were supposed to each build a 1/100 Wing Gundam model in 2 hours. I managed to pull off a 2nd place finish with a silver, metallic blue, metallic red color scheme. Ahhh... there's a reason I'm reminiscensing over ancient history, hope I will get to it... Anyway, as far as I am concerned, the only kind of special edition models that I would consider is transparent or electroplated. If it's silver and/or metallic finish, I can do myself, better and cheaper.
