Chartreuse enamel model paint?

I am looking for a source of enamel model paint to use in making bass
poppers, but I can't find any that supply chartreuse as a color selection.
Anybody have a source for me?

I am attempting to tie up some of these:

These guys make a paint especially for foam popper bodies:
http://www.csipaint.com/retailcatalog.htm

They don't do retail, and none of the vendors listed on their page seem to
have the popper paint - only the jig paint.

I've been using Cabela's jig dipping paint with great success on foam
poppers. You need to have a fly/rod turning rig to rotate them while they
dry so it comes out even. Another option that has worked well for me is
using testor's model paint and then dipping the poppers in softex or one
of the other clear "soft" body treatments. The benefit of the latter
method is you can put those nice stick on eyes on and then overcoat them
with the softex and it'll keep them in place through much abuse.

Another suggestion would be to use fabric paint such as Plaid or Tulip
brands. I know they have a color that is close to chartreuse. Also the paint
doesn't sag while drying so you don't have to use a turner.

A local tier in North Carolina, Anthony Hipps, did a program for our TU
chapter on his Hipps Softbody Poppers and that is what he uses. He then puts
a coat of acrylic gloss urethane on it. That does require turning to prevent
sags.
