    Paint

    Just wondering if you can still get solvent based paint in the US, here in Canada it is all water based now, almost impossible to match. I am looking to purchase a small amount for touch up.

    Got my answer, yes there is solvent based paint available in the US. Now I just have to figure out how to ship it to Toronto.

    It depends where you are in the US. West coast states tend to be environmentally conscious. I believe you can only use water based paint in California. Other places anything goes.

    Thanks Ravi, discovered that these guys are all going to Buffalo to get their solvent based paint, there are solvent compliant paints out now in Ontario but very limited supply of tints. I've got a pint coming, hopefully it will be a close match.
