Okay....I'm going to wade into thing paint "thing" one last time. I am a commercial painting contractor in Vancouver and I deal with all the major Suppliers and Manufacturers across Canada. I have been in the "game" for over 35 years, have created paint that was never invented before and even had my own line of paint in the film and theatre industry....the best in North America! AND it still being sold and used today throughout Canada, and God knows, the rest of the world.
So that said....I do have a wee bit of experience in the paint game.
Now, I will attempt to see what I can come up with for the "Matt Man" and the infamous "Terracotta Warrior" of the outer reaches of the planet "Hammond Barn". The one thing that all should pay heed to was the advise given to the Hammond Barn Wizard by the CTC Soldier was: "bring your wife in to select what shade of Terracotta....SHE REALLY WANTS! The best advice ever! Saved many a marriage!
And as far as water based products going over oil based products, they have remedied that with waterborne enamels and water/oil based paint bases. And like any project to be painted ...some sanding HAS to be done. Be it decks or vehicles. Sorry Bob!
AND on top of that now....I'll see if I can get you wholesale prices, although not CTC.

PS: Now speaking of paint.....I still have just over 4500 spray cans/rattle cans of paint to sell. 3 for 10 bucks plus shipping. You can check Craig's List Vancouver and type in 'Spray Paint Cans" and check out the entry of "Spray Paint Blowout" to see whats in stock.
Cheers ....Robert
