I think they only have large quantities, plus they don't list individual colors. Anywhere else?

Aerogloss is nitrate based with a fuel proofer in it. I have also taken pigment from humbrol paint with most of the solvent removed and mixed it into clear nitrate and it worked well. WHy dont you want to put the butrate over the nitrate? It is ok that way; you cant do nitrate over butrate.
