Epoxy should work. This site sells House of Color lacquer paint in one ounce jars. I've used it on a few models and the candy colors really pop. The candies need a silver or gold base, and a clear but since it dries fast you can usually do it all in one day and polish it the next if need be.
I've actually got quite a few jars of HoK candies and pearls. My dad used to race slot cars and worked at a body shop, so he picked up a few leftovers over the years. I also build model cars and love using automotive urethane paint and clear. Here's a shot of a Tamiya NSX I just got through building, it was shot with pearl and then cleared with 2k Urethane.

Thank you, that's actually the paint I bought for my real Camaro project car. For being budget paint, I'm pretty happy with how it laid down and have high hopes when I get ready to paint the real car.
