Another good paint source: Splash Paint

[Ben_B]

I've been painting a Revell RX-7 using paint sourced from US-based Splash Paint (LINK). They sell solvent-based, flat undercoat paint premixed for airbrushing. They have a growing line of colors and they will do custom mixes. They sell their own primers, but the paint performs very well over Tamiya primer. They also sell urethane clear coats. Shipping is very fast. I had my custom Mazda mix in hand 4 days after I ordered. They're very responsive to email queries, too. They're having a 10% off Black Friday sale through Dec 1. Recommended! 

I'll post a photo of the painted car body when I get around to doing a photo shoot of some other things.

I've also used Splsh paints. Excellent paint and excellent service.

Their bottles are smaller than those used by the compitition (Gravity, Zero). One seems to be exactly enough to paint one car, with no leftover. But I think I know the reason. Splash paints can be shipped overseas (or at least shipped cheaper) at that size, while the others can't.

Interesting. Their custom colors come in larger bottles, probably enough to do 2-3 smallish cars.

Might not be able to mix up a batch smaller than that. Or there is no profit until you get to that size.
