I can find it at Jim Carter and Chev's of the 40's but nobody will ship it into Canada. It was suggested I check out a Dupont Hammertone Paint but the colour looks to be way off. They have a brown, copper, silver and black and none are even close to pictures I have seen. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this paint across the border?
My other option was to find a fellow bolter from Buffalo/Niagara area and have the paint shipped to them and I would go pick it up and bring it over myself.
Any thoughts? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 | 46,
Check your Lowes/Home Depot for Rustoleum/Tremclad. They do make a Hammertone. Whether its what you want or need or color correct is your call. I travel to the Malone NY area monthly if thats a help. Have fun and good luck

My jobber at PPG Ditzler had one.
