DavidChampagne Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have several bottles of "Colors by Boyd" paint. By Model Masters or Testers. Not sure which. I want to get more but can't find it anywhere. Can anybody tell me where I can get it from? That and maybe "House of Colors" in quantities for models.. Thanks in advance. Had to evacuate for "IDA" and looking for things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) You might want more; but, you ain't gonna get them. "Colors by Boyd" bottle paint was discontinued back in the late 1990s. Testors dropped its entire hobby paint line earlier this year, with the exception of the cheesy little 1/4 oz. square bottles.

Thanks for the quick reply. You mentioned 1/4 oz bottles. Do know where I can some of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Arts & craft stores like Michaels, from numerous online shops and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Just so you don't get your hopes up, those cheesy 1/4 oz. bottles are not Colors by Boyd. They are the same old Testors PLA enamel paints Testors always sold (for probably over 50 years now). Testors also sold Colors by Boyd in 1/2 oz. round glass bottles, but those are also likely as rare as the cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Thanks, Pete. I should have been clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I believe some of the Colors by Boyd made their way into the "little bottle" line. Fox example, Teal, which only appeared a few years ago, looks VERY similar to the Boyd Chezoom Teal. There might be others, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidChampagne Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks to everyone for their help. Did not realize the ones I have are that old. Guess I was out of modeling longer than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 They do come up on eBay pretty regularly for decent prices, if that helps. Certain colors are more desirable (and harder to find) than others though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find it on eBay but at at a higher cost.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
