Bill Eh? Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I placed an order with Splash Paints LLC last Friday, March 23. It just arrived today. The order was contained in two USPS Priority Mail boxes attached together. The contents were protected inside with foam peanuts. Besides being extremely fast, the cost was more than reasonable at just over $15. All of the colors I purchased are flat, base-coat in nature. They come in 1 fl.oz. plastic bottles with metal ball agitator. They should be clear coated. They are airbrush ready and just require shaking the bottle before use. Here are is a list of the products that I purchased: Viking Blue SP-031 Green H*ll Magno SP-029 Racing Yellow SP-006 Rubystone Red SP-016 Grigio Titans SP-027 Solarbeam Yellow SP-026 Miami Blue SP-024 Ultra Violet Purple SP-021 Giallo Triplo Strato SP-022 Arancio Atlas SP-003 I also purchased Gloss Clear (2 fl.oz.) and Flat Clear (2 fl.oz.) The Gloss Clear comes with Activator (0.5 fl.oz.) and thinner (0.5 fl.oz.) Ratio 4:1:1 The Flat Clear comes with Activator (0.5 fl.oz.) Ratio 5:1 On top of all of this, a dozen pipettes were included free of charge! At this point, I am a very satisfied customer with the service that I received on this order. Edited March 29, 2018 by Bill Eh? missed something!
peter31a Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Interesting. So quick shipping and no problem with shipping here to Canada? I'd say worth a look.
Samuel S Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Thanks Bill! Every color you order comes with a pipette. The flat clear is something that you may adjust to 4:1 for semi gloss finish, 5:1 for eggshell, 6:1 for very dry flat finish. SP LLC Sam

Hey Peter, If you select the $35 option, I will refund you the difference of the actual shipping cost. If you'd like I can always throw in paints instead of the refund which I did with Bill. I believe I threw in one or two extra paints for the number of paints he ordered. SP LLC Sam

SP LLC Sam Samuel, that is great information concerning how to achieve a semi-gloss finish. I had been thinking about that very issue! LOL
Xingu Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I also received a shipment of Splash paint. Very quick shipping. I hope to try it out in the near future and will let everyone know how I like it.
aurfalien Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Hi, The pipette and ball bearings are a really nice touch.

oldr-n-drt Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 what is there web site addy?? all I get are house paints?? oldr-n-drt
Bill Eh? Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) That was an obvious oversight on my part. Here you go ... https://www.splash-paints.com/ I have not sprayed them yet. I am waiting for a change to warmer weather in my area Edited March 30, 2018 by Bill Eh?
Samuel S Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) They dry completely flat. Make sure to apply them pretty thin. Bad picture but The solar beam yellow has been painted over gray primer so the color came out little dark and applied clear coat. Left one is Rosso Corsa. The right one is Rosso Bia (with yellow pearl) gray primer underneath without any clear coat. The left guy has been cleared with the 2K Clearcoat and personally I never really had any issues painting or clear coating in any weather. Lulu says hi! Edited March 30, 2018 by Samuel S
martinfan5 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Samuel, can you custom mix colors? , like say a color that was used on a 84 Oldsmobile, can you mix that up?

Hey Jonathan, we have a service called Splash On Demand on our website where you can request any custom color of your choice. So the answer is yes.

Old dentistry trick in choosing tooth shades I like the pups Hi, That's very interesting and makes sense as we evolved outdoors under a light blue sky. However our color bays are a sort of medium grey. But then again looking at electrically generated colors is different then looking at paint generated colors. Edited May 10, 2018 by aurfalien
