mademan Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just wondering if anyone has bought from scale finishes lately? I am needing a couple colors that I cant get locally and last time I had ordered it took almost 2 months with no communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) No problems. I have had several orders over the last few months all shipped within 5-10 days. Biggest holdup was customs in Vancouver, it can sit there for several weeks sometimes, normally a couple days.

Exotics_Builder Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 From his site: " Starting on Feburary 5th I am re-open! Thank you to everyone who stayed patient during my January absence, I was in St. Louis for training on wheel repair, and painting. That’s right, not only do I build models and mix paint for them, I also work on the painting and repair of real automobiles. Scalefinishes isn’t run by someone who is just repacking what other people do, but is managed by a model/car enthusiast and a member of the professional automotive painting community. The big news is that the new job has exposed me to new products and practices that I will be bringing to the modeling community soon, these will be a boost to modeling as a whole, and car modeling specifically. Stay tuned!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVC500 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) I've always had great communication with Jameston until about a year or two ago when he started a new job and stopped responding to emails about custom and out of stock colors. I get the impression that you'll get your order fulfilled if you just order what's available on the website or go through Elm City. It's a shame, since he's essentially lost my business now that I have Gravity Colors in the USA. Edited February 14, 2018 by BVC500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elm city has been out of stock on MOST colors for over a year now.... every time I go to order it hasn't been restocked. I ended up placing an order with Scale Finishes a few days ago. So we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Friday you get an email of what's new, on sale and if he's going to be placing an order, ie with Scale Finishes. If you email him, he can order stuff from Jameston for you and then you just get it from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ordered from Scott in a while, I have well over a 100+ bottles stocked up of all different colors... need to start using them.
