Default Duratrax Chrome Paint - DOA?

I had the Duratrax Chrome paint preordered at Tower Hobbies. I just got an email saying that my preorder was cancelled because they aren't going to carry this product. I looked on the Duratrax website and chrome paint is nowhere to be found.

Does anybody know why?

I was hoping we'd have a good alternative since SpazStix sucks.

I've had rotten luck with Tamiya and was hoping duratrax would save the day.

Spazstix is the best without question IMO and it loves the airbrush you get good mileage that way.

I haven't had any experience with SpazStix chrome, but I painted my B5M buggy body in Fluorescent Red SpazStix paint and it flaked off like old house paint. That's the first time I've ever had issues with paint flaking off of a body.

I had a friend paint a body for my Sawback for me and he used SpazStix paint. We'll see if I have better luck with that.
