FYI, I found another company who makes something very similar, maybe
you'll
have a better chance getting it locally from them.  Duplicolor, who at
least
in the US is known for making touch-up paint for cars, has a line called
MIRAGE which might even be the same thing at Krylon's Mystique:
http://www.duplicolor.com/products/mirage.html

Duplicolor's products are usually found in auto parts stores (which is
where
I first saw it).  Their cans are larger than the Krylon version, the
pack of
3 (black base, color coat, clear coat) goes for about $20US as opposed
to
$15US for the Krylon product, but everything is also available
separately,
so you can buy a different color for about $10US instead of having to
buy a
whole kit.
Colors are a bit different too: Purple/Green, Silver/Green,
Gold/Magenta,
and Red/Blue.

Please do.  I'm still planning on trying this out on minis before the
end of
the year.  Let us know how may coats of the color you used to get the
depth
and color change you wanted.
