We (LHS) have already started converting our store racks to carry this line....

 

Paint Link 

 

Diehard customers (Floquil/Scalecoat mavens) who have tried it are very impressed/enthusiastic.  I tried my first color...boxcar red...on an old QualityCraft DRGW boxcar kit....Beautiful!!!!  Airbrushed wonderfully!!

 

Micromark is carrying/developing their own line, too.

 

Testors (ModelMaster) is re-releasing some of the railroad colors into their standard line...others have been promised to follow.  (Testors owned Floquil at it's end, if you didn't know....) 

 

Anyone old enough to remember the demise of the old 410M line of paints?? Hmmmm?  And remember how many of the kit producers of its day who had pre-painted parts referenced 410M paint colors?  Hmmmmm???  Gosh and gollies, we survived that end-of-hobby-world event, too. 

 

Bottom line_______ ....we'll all survive. We'll all accommodate.  We'll all get through this 'crisis', too.   Together.

Before I can seriously consider TruColor, I would HAVE to find a suitable alternative thinner for their paint.

 

A 16 oz bottle of TruColor's thinner at $81.95 (as of July 1) ain't happening for me, not the way thinner is consumed when airbrushing.

 

$81.95 for 16oz of thinner? Surely they jest.

Tru Values XYLOL has been my thinner for Floquil for several years now 8.00 a qt at big box stores also works with Scalecoat.
