Alan,
I have just been down to Lidl and all they had was the paint that Ken posted.
The box looks similar and I thought I was in luck but the containers are 100 ml and plain Acrylic. A well better luck next time.

I never saw those in my Lidl, they must have been sold out.

Ken,
Your picture shows the box I saw in Lidl. It is not the box of 'Pearlescent paints'. As Alan said I hope to catch them next time.

Hi, so would those pearlescent, or plain coloured paints mix alright with acrylic resins to cast pen blanks?

Hi Bill,
I used the plain Acrylic paint in the last cast I did. It was alright.

I know I'm late to post this, but in the states, we can get Apple Barrel acrylic paints in a 2 oz. bottle at Walmart for $.50 each.
My local Walmart has about 125 colors in stock. I don't know if they sell Apple Barrel brand in the UK, but it's worth looking for.
