89AKurt Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Is it just me and my area, finding Model Master 'flat black' paint in stock, is like looking for TP. Is it the same for other brands, and other countries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The Model Master line has been discontinued. An announcement was made last month to that effect. Flat black, being a very popular, colour, may be the first to go. If it is a paint you use often, stock up when you find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64Comet404 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don't use Model Master, but I had the same problem when I tried to get a couple of cans of Tamiya flat black spray. Hopefully the distributors will be shipping product soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Last week bought some Testors and Tamiya paint from Tower Hobbies, and almost all flat black and semi-gloss black varieties from both brands were out of stock. Wouldn’t be surprised if there have been widespread problems restocking in the current environment. Today I was in Michael’s in Racine, Wisconsin, and they did have regular Testors flat black enamel brush and spray paint in the rack, but that store only recently reopened.

Tom Geiger Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Try Walmart Color Place flat black if you can find it. Tall can, cheap and works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 So yes I'm bumping my old topic, been seeing there is a shortage of plain spray paint at Home Deephole or wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 After 2 years of you-know-what, I expect shortages of pretty much any type of merchandise. If it is not meat, or toilet paper, it might as well be hobby or even regular paints. If it's not manufacturing shortages, it is problems with transportation. Take your pick. Even in the grocery stores, there are sill holes in the inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted Black Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I went to the local hardware only to find the paint rack empty, only color left was pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
