This is not Ebay's fault, this is the brokers that deal with the import/export of stuff to Canada, they are the ones that are making it very expensive to to ship to/from Canada. It does not matter what method, or what carrier you use, they all have to pay the broker fees to get the stuff in an out. Research is your friend

How often do you visit Hobby Lobby?
martinfan5 replied to dantewallace's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If they dont want to be bothered to stock what the customer is asking for, then you cant blame people for buying the products they want at chain stores, or online stores -

What base coat you use depends on what you want the hue or shade of color coat to be. Spoon test's are the best way to find the shade you are looking for. A few things to keep in mind, and I am not an expert, so I could be wrong, white should be used for lighter colors, grey for darker colors, silver is another one that can really change the color as well. Black is a good choice for silver paint jobs. Red should be done over a white base coat,pink would also be a good choice, and silver as well. that is if you want it to be a bright red, but you want a darker red, grey, or red primer I would suggest for the color you are using, and if you want it to "pop", use a silver base coat, white would be good too, but if you are wanting it be more on the darker side, grey, and if you want it to be even darker, black base coat. Here is something to keep in mind, if you spray a bright color over a dark base, its going to dull if you will the color, spray a bright color over a bright base, its going to help magnify the bright color

Check Ebay, I have seen them there a few times, or you can get this one, you will have to make a spoiler, extend the rear quarter panels down a little bit, and fill in the nose piece, but those are your only options, unless you dont mind using a diecast http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-RSetzer/-strse-2183/2008-Camry-Nascar/Detail.bok

Hobby Link Japan - good to deal with?
martinfan5 replied to 58 Impala's topic in Links to Aftermarket Suppliers
I was meaning like wheel sets and stuff, I bought a Hobby Design wheel set from HLJ, and it was about a dollar more with HLJ then from a seller on Ebay, but with kits, oh yeah, HLJ is better then Ebay hands down The time really does very, for instance, Aoshima's Aventador kit was out stock, I placed an order for it on the the first of July and still waiting for it, but I placed an order for another out of stock or backed ordered kit, I dont remember, but it was two days ago, and I received the payment email for it today, so it really just depends on how long the wait might be -
