Chuck Most Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I saw that in the mail but didn't even open it . . . better go check the trash ! Ditto- as a former Advance employee, I routinely trash everything they send.

crazyjim Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 I don't think you need the ad itself. However, there's coupons on the flyer for $5 off a purchase over $25 and $10 off a purchase over $50. Naturally, it can't be used with advertised specials.
martinfan5 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Thats to bad, we dont have any Advance stores in my state
von Zipper Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for the tip, Jim That's a great deal !!!
crazyjim Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Happy to help fellow modelers out. I'm planning to load up on primer.
MrObsessive Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Hey! I live right next door to one! I gotta check this out! Thanks for the heads up Jim!
MikeyB08 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 So... Is it safe to say that the Dupli-Color paint works well with models?
TooOld Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 So... Is it safe to say that the Dupli-Color paint works well with models? Yes , it works great ! It does need a clear coat .
MikeyB08 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Any specific type to look for? Acrylic Lacquer? Enamel? Would I need to do any wet sanding before clear coat? <<This question is probably a give and take. I know humidity and temp play a major role in the answer. Just generally speaking.

James, The Dupli Color paints sold at Advance are sprays that you would use to touch up a paint job on a 1:1 car or truck. Only solid colors would be color sanded as a metallic paint would lose it's metallic pigments if you were to sand it before clearing. Be sure to pick up colors and clears, along with their primers. They are very compatible to model plastic.

Hawk312 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Yes, thanks for the tip Jim! If anyone happens to be near York, PA, don`t bother going to Advance Auto to get Duplicolor clear coat after tomorrow, as I will have all the stores picked out! :D
crazyjim Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Hey guys - the sale doesn't start until Thursday, February 28, 2013.

James, Mike gave some good advice, but, be careful, Duplicolor is a hot paint/primer , and it will craze Revells new plastic, and dont think about using on kits from Tamiya , Aoshima, Fujimi, I have had issues with all those at one time, and its hit or miss, so just be careful,

Always test though, using sprue or an unused kit part to be sure... Edited February 27, 2013 by jeffs396
Hawk312 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I stopped in a local store here, and they have them for buy one, get one at half off (not free). I am in PA, so I`m not sure if it`s different in other locations. So... Is it safe to say that the Dupli-Color paint works well with models? I have had pretty decent results with Duplicolor. I`ll also second what the others have sad about testing on sprue.

I am in PA, so I`m not sure if it`s different in other locations. Same here in the Milwaukee area, and as stated in their monthly flyer: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/wcsstore/CVWEB/Attachment/staticbusinesscontent/image/mar-2013-flexi.pdf
Ramfins59 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I went to the Advance Auto here in Cranberry Twp.. PA yesterday and picked up cans in 10 different colors, 3 cans of Clear, and 6 cans of Primer (1 Red, 1 Gray, 2 Black & 2 White). I'm set for awhile on paints now.
MsDano85gt Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I Worked for advance for 2 years and now cannot stand them I feel I was the only one working the store that knew anything about cArs! Noone at any of the stores here knows how to look anything up Without a computer 9out of 10 times the part I want is "not available" in their computers don't have that problem at o'reillys. Oh soRry we were talkin about duplicolor paint!

I am in PA, so I`m not sure if it`s different in other locations. It's the same here in Florida . The tag at the store said the same thing the ad said : in big red letters " BUY ONE GET ONE " and then off to the side is " 50% off 2nd can " Kind of a sneaky way to get you into the store .
