Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.
Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG) |

I did some Google on your behalf and have a bad feeling you’re going to run into same problem I had when trying to find Sikkens - yeah it’s still around but such a minor player and when I finally found a distributor, the old product line I wanted wasn’t available any longer.
Might try calling Capital Paint and Refinish in Denver - but even that article is 7 years old Other than that all I’m finding is dated European / Canadian / ROW distribution Have Wonkipop send you some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). Paint can be shipped internationally but will likely be a huge cost due to hazardous materials surcharge, customs & duty, and weight. I’ve had small quantity of paint shipped domestically and it was no big deal. |

Glasurit Aus don't sell the good stuff here either. but it is obtainable. @vitamin914 - you can get the stuff you linked to in Germany also in the UK. correct re hazardous materials. i'm not even sure you can put it on a plane from AUS to US. i know i could not airfreight certain solvent based paints i was after for my work from NZ. had to be water based. mexico? |
