Chief Joseph Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I jumped on the sale last night when I saw the Facebook post. The four colors I've been needing were actually in the sale. so I went ahead and pulled the trigger even though I probably won't use any of them for another month or two!
martinfan5 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 I have used and like these paints. I have also used his clear over Testors one shot laq paints with great results. They are ready to shoot, and to me worth the money. On top of that, he is a great guy to deal with. I have never ordered from him via mail, but I have bought from his at shows person to person. Mark, give it a shot, free shipping , its a good deal
jaydar Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 With regard to Norbies Technique i can attest to thin like milk and 10 - 12 lbs of pressure. It works very well for me. I cannot get down to 1" from the surface though. also he does not say how wide a pattern his ab sprays. In any event, i bought 5 bottles last night. All gloss enamel. Enough for 2 Corvettes and a '70 Challenger. I appreciate the tip about compatible clears. joe.
wgflatliner Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 i had Jameston custom mix a paint for me - the price is awesome for airbrush ready paints, and the paint match is also good. i'm happy with the results so far.
Monty Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Wow, I want to load up on this sale and get some of the factory colors I've been needing, but I'm a little concerned about the note that pretty much says they need to be used in conjunction with a respirator. I'm guessing it's because the enamels are reduced with lacquer. I don't have a respirator and I doubt it'd do much good since my beard would probably keep it from sealing properly. Suggestions? (Other than trimming the beard)

Guest G Holding Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Only fools spray without safety equipment. A respirator is easy to test and you might need to trim.....BUT If you gotta look good, then you can die young too! I use mine daily, 3M is a lifesaver for many years, I change cartridges every 2 or 3 months!
Harry P. Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Or at least spray outdoors where the vapors will quickly dissipate into the air.
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Or to Canada, which is a shame as they do have a lot of great paints. Yeah...well...That's being worked on. I should have more details in a month or so.
Tom Geiger Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Yep! For a while, at least. Then I might become Harry Truman. Or Harry Connick. Or Harry Belafonte. or... and what's wrong with Harry Chapin?
Casey Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I doubt it'd do much good since my beard would probably keep it from sealing properly. Suggestions? (Other than trimming the beard) Purchase a 3M full face respirator. It'll protect your eyes, too. You can cinch the straps tightly enough that you'll get a good seal.
jrherald420 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Just ordered some Ford grabber blue, Ford kona blue, Petty blue, Plum crazy purple and a bottle of clear to try. Kinda excited, I've been wanting to try this paint for some time.

Brett Barrow Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Mine arrived yesterday, can't wait to try them out, been wanting to give them a shot for a while.
jrherald420 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Mine arrived yesterday, can't wait to try them out, been wanting to give them a shot for a while. How long did it take? Also who does he ship through?
Brett Barrow Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I ordered Monday and it must have been through the USPS, it was in my mailbox, and UPS and FedEx usually leave stuff at the door. I think it was actually in my mailbox Thursday and I didn't check it. This is my first experience with them, but they're the sort of company I've never heard a bad work about. Jameston seems to have a stellar reputation.
Monty Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I'm trying to get an order in here, but I see two listings for Chevrolet Shadow Gray, P/N 446 & P/N 594. Anybody know the difference?
