I am hooked on using Zero Paints but it can be a pain to get from the us. I have to give a big shout out to Hiroboy.com Ordered paint on Tuesday night and received Friday afternoon. i know shipping is expensive but service and speed of shipping is excellent. Having almost all Zeropaints in stock is also another big plus.

Bill, As long as you don't mind shipping costs, Gravity of Spain ships DHL and you get your order in 3-4 days. With that being said, I moved over to Scalefinishes (USA based) after recommendations from Ismael, and just loved their paints & Service, plus they'll custom make any color that you need.
I tried ordering Zero paints from Spot Models along with a few models, and as soon as I added the paints, the UPS and Fed Ex options were grayed out. I only mention Spot as they're also a major retailer of Zero paints.

I thought the British postal service banned shipping paint? It would be great if that policy has been changed.

I don't know about USPS, but up here, even if it arrives, Canada Post won't deliver it by air. They will by ground if it's close enough. Also I don't know if you're aware, but Japan Post has cancelled all air cargo, so anything from there comes by boat - eventually!

Bill, There you go. DHL ships paints just about anywhere by air.
If Japan now only allows ground/boat, good chance anything I might have ordered will get here after I long gone.

You can also buy direct from Gravity Colors in Spain. They ship only by DHL and it is inexpensive. (They probably have a special contract with DHL for shipping paint in quantity.) They will also creat special colors for you. I asked for Deutsche Post Yellow and they had it added to their catalog of paints a few weeks later.
