I've noticed at my local Wally Worlds that they no longer carrry sublime green in the testors line. That was a great color that i used a lot. Any ideas as to why testors no longer makes that color and if this is the case, what other companies make this color or a similar one that i could use as a replacement?
Thanks! :wave:

Did Testor's stop making it or did WM stop carrying it? My local WM has stopped carrying all Testor's and gone to HOK paint.

That stinks! :eek: My WM's still carry the Testors line but no Sublime Green. What's the deal here?

Testor's still lists it on their website.

The supply and colors they carry around here is pathetic. A few candy colors, mostly metalflakes, and maybe 1 or 2 solid colors, not counting black or white. They have even less offerings of the Boyd paints. I've just gotten back into building model cars and while I like the under $3 cost, I don't care for the colors.
If you have a hobby shop near you, check out the Tamiya paints. They're a little more expensive, but they have tons of colors.

Tamiya paints. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I am on the hunt for Jl's and paints. Thanks a bunch!

Don't forget the auto parts store. They have the spray touch up cans in a boat load of colors. Just remember to use a primer first, especially on plastic. ;) rr
