oldcarfan Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'm still one of those who prefer spray cans over airbrushes. I've been buying lots of models, but not building many for the last two years due to restoring a house and shop. Now that that's mostly finished I'm starting to build a model building area. One thing I'm doing is buying modeling supplies and Krylon was always my go-to for paint. Now it seems hardly anyone carries Krylon anymore in my area. They usually have a few cans, but it's mostly Rustoleum on the shelves. I did notice Home Depot is carrying a Behr line of spray cans in limited colors. I'll give them a try sometime, but it looks like I may have to go with an airbrush after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It may be the supply chain shortage that hit many spray can manufactures over the past 2 years. I know the Dupli-color I use was hard to find and when the supply came back it was more $$$$ than before. Check their website???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I don't have an answer but I did notice locally that Hobby Lobby has almost no Krylon now. They used to have a large selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I have used the Krylon silver foil a lot and ran out. I contacted Krylon and Dave you are correct. They are having material supply shortage. Kinda, sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRollerLT1 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Last I checked, Walmart, Michael's, local hardwar places, and Hobby Lobby stores in my area had Krylon sprays. Not that I used them much (since I primarily use Rustoluem, Tamiya, and cheap no name sprays), but just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Walmart hasn't had it, around here, for a few years, now. Home Depot no longer carries it, but Lowe's does. Supply chain issues may be affecting stocks, but, I don't know about that, for sure. The thought of Krylon going away made my mouth suddenly dry!😲 It's my favorite paint!

bentmetal Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I use Krylon a lot in my builds with their primer and flat and semi flat black for the frames. They recently changed their nozzle design to a large white spray tip. The last three cans I got all plugged up solid before half the can was gone. Any one else having this problem with the new nozzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpate Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Y'all better stock up while you can. With diesel gas running out paint wont be the only thing running out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Krylon's Dull Aluminum was always my go-to for engines and suspension pieces. Guess I'll have to locate some and stock up while I still can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The lack of Krylon seems to at least partly explain all of the crummy, "T.O.Y.S." graffiti around these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Where did all the Krylon go, long time passing? Where did all the Krylon go, long time ago? Where did all the Krylon go?

ranma Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) supply chain is a bogus reason! I can go to the local wal mart and see that their spray paints are 95% of the Rust O lium junk that stays tacky for day's paint! I'm thinking it's Rust olium trying to rid themselves of their main competitor . Much like Wal Mart has done in most smaller towns with running other stores out. I use Krylon short cuts mostly as it lay's better than Testors(rust olium). Not to mention Meijers was selling Dupli color paints, which they no longer have in favor of the Rust Olium auto paints line, and there aren't many color choices with them!

stavanzer Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My Local Hobby Lobby is out of Krylon Short Cuts too. Time to start looking for more. I had no idea this was nationwide. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, last I looked at HL they had the what they call gold foil but not the silver. They do have a chrome silver but never tried it. I don't (or didn't) use the silver foil for chrome effect. It looks perfect on gas tanks and exhaust systems. Also used it as a base for the Molotow chrome, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
