I just tried to place another order with Gravity of Spain and pay for it via my Pay Pal account as I've always done previously. The only issue is that they no longer accept pay pal as a form of payment. That's insane as it's one of, if not the most used method of payment and much more secure then via a credit card. When I finally got someone on the chat screen to ask, they said they did this because Pay Pal wasn't responsive to their inquiries, which I took to take that PP always sided with the customer rather then with them.
So that leaves me without a lacquer paint company. I've ordered previously just two bottles of paint for a test from Scalefinishes but haven't used either as yet. hopefully, they will work out just fine. Good news is that they're USA based, bad news is that my one order took over two wks, while shipments from Spain took only 3-4 days. Still, I don't mind the extra shipping time.
I also need to find a full replacement polishing and wax set that now Gravity's is not available to me.

Hello,
Scalefinishes is my primary and almost exclusive paint supplier since Cobra Colors shutdown over a decade ago. It is a one man show but Jameston recently got some help because demand is going up.
Thanks,

Ismael, Glad to hear that. Like I said, I never need ASAP like yesterday service and I get all my supplies for a build including paints before hand. What I'm looking for is the proper colors, and since they mix their own paint, in stock shouldn't be an issue.
I also took a look at Splash paints, but never ordered from them as yet.
As for liquid polishes and wax, I'm leaning towards the Novis system, but Meguiar's NXT Tech wax 2.0 that I use on my Coupe. the deep shine is a killer.
Sure hope that you'll be working on your Vette once again. Always great to have you around.

I was happy with the way Splash Paint worked on my Revell RX-7. I used their custom mix service. I have several other bottles standing by for if/when I get around to the two projects I bought them for. Splash did once send me the wrong bottle, but they responded immediately and fixed it.
Too bad about Gravity. They have a good selection. I’m hoping Zero Paint can sort out their supply issues. They have a color I need....
