Cdn 3-colour paint schemes

[rob love]

If this if for a NPF type project, I would suggest just buying the paint from Rapco, and having it shipped to somewhere in Houlton Maine, which by map does not seem that far away. Rapco will send it by UPS, and if you buy 1 gallon or 20 gallons, the hazmat charge is just the same.

I have always just paid for purchases like this on my CC, then submitted the bill for reimbursement through NPF. I give them the bill along with the snippet from my online Credit card statement, as well as the Canada Customs bill (if they even charge the taxes....often if it's for the museum they will only charge the GST), and NPF always pays back to the penny.

There are hardeners you can add to the Gillespie paint to make it tougher if the vehicles you are painting are to be left outside. But in general, I just spray it on thick and it is reasonable durable once it hardens in a week or two. I use Xylene for the reducer. The stuff dries in 15 minutes, just like the old army paints.
