Paint haul

[PappyD340]

Got these 28 cans of Testors extreme lacquers at Joann fabrics $2.97 per can on clearance,  I cleaned out both the stores that are close to me, less than $100 for all this, it would have cost $232 at Hobby Lobby I believe we figured I saved $140 and I thought it was an excellent deal!

I didn't realize that JoAnns carried these paints.

I didn't either guys until I saw some one post on Facebook that they had bought some there, so I told my wife and we made a visit and the rest is history I probably have enough paint to last a good while!!

Thanks Bill, I would definitely check it out just can't beat $2.97 a can.

Be sure to use 'em before the cans start leaking...

Or at least store 'em upside down, so in theory only the propellant will leak and you can still decant the rest to airbrush (seein' as how it always seems to be the bottom of the cans that leak...).

Yes I'll do that, I have some older Model Master paints that some of them have leaked from the bottom and it was funny it was never the pigment it was one of the binders that leaked.

Yeah, I usually decant then into 4oz glass bottles.

We had a parts store change owners, maybe 20 years ago. They were blowing out the old Duplicolor stock at 99¢ a can. I'm still using some of it. I had a can or 2 go bad over time.

Yesterday I went to the JoAnn's in Algonquin IL no Testors

I liked the small cans of Duplicolor I bought several when Walmart clearance it..

It was a different formula and I could shoot it outside in the real cold, no blush issues.
