stevehansen Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I ordered online some House of Kolor paint (hobby scaled metalflake/pearl) a couple of years ago, but alas I cannot recall where I purchased it from. More recently I purchased some from an auto parts store, but I thought the metalflake was too large. Is Walmart's full size metalflake? I live in Minneapolis.

Scalefinishes Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The best place I have found to get HOK outside of a local paint shop is TCP global (http://www.tcpglobal.com/HokPaint/). They offer HOK colors in either pre-thinned 2 & 4oz. bottles, or in full strength quarts & gallons. Toped off with great shipping price and speed. Hope this helps.

Myles Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) You can also get HOK from Coast Airbrush (They do not thin there's so you will have to do it), TCP Global sells it pre-thinned and if I remember correctly, they both sell everything that HOK offers. Coast offers 1 ounce; 2 oz; 4oz and even larger sizes if you want that much. TCP offers 2oz and 4oz sizes. Slixx also offers the HOK from Black Gold. And these are the REAL stuff so be sure to have a respirator when using it. The metal flakes in the KBC series (a mixture of pearl and kandy paints that needs less coats) of HOK paints are small enough to be more in scale. Hope that helps!

CarModDave Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you have a local Car Quest auto paint store, check with them. The one here in town carries the complete HoK line, from the un-thinned 2oz. & 4oz. plastic squeeze bottles to the gallon size. The guy here has gotten to know me and now gives me a pretty good discount! Just one other option to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randx0 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Steve hub hobby in little canada has some of the hobby only hok paint if that's what you're looking for. and I think scale model supplies in st.paul has some also. it's discontinued so it's a little more than it used to be . at michaels they have a product by jacquard that is pearl powders that you add into your own paint that other mag did an article on it awhile ago.as for the real deal HOK paint I believe that black gold is the place to go.Hope this helps.if you have any other questions in regards to local availability pm me and I'll give ya my phone #.
