No never tried theirs so don't know a thing about it. Have had some from Cadman and from Columbia Coatings and of course CSI. The only one of the 3 that bubbles and such like it's supposed to is CSI that I have used so does orbitz bubble like CSI? However I don't really have much trouble painting with all 3 that I have used, but they don't all act the same for sure.

I hate to do this, but I'm gonna have to bow out of this paint swap......maybe next time, just got some bills that came up and I'm sure I will have the extra money to do this......again I'm sorry to and I hope that it does not leave ya'll hangin, I'm sure you can quickly get someone to take my spot.

Thanks,
AC

night prowler.....baggies are a bad idea......they are going to open. they are very rough with the mail. It would be a disaster if someone would get a package and paint would be all over....we need to discuss packaging.....Im not Ok with taking a chance with 50$. we need to price containers... I would be willing to ship my jars to you....they need to be screwed and taped...

Revtoby, you make a good point. I think we should ask how the mfg ships their products and do the same. I know they make low-dough resealable plastic containers and that might do the trick. I see no reason why we couldn't just snap it shut, them seal it with shipping tape and slap a priority mail lable on it. But before we get to involved, we need to get an updated head count and see how many are still in the swap, because when someone drops it changes more than in a jig swap.

I am still in.

I'm still in.... If it's less of us go down on number of paints or we all get more.... How does the paint company prices compare to Columbia coatings... They have some awesome colors... And I love candy paint.

I suggest that you guys go online and get these plastic bottles which I get my powder paint shipped in in they put black electricians tape around the top in they are definitely on breakable I'm sure that you can find the source releasee also why he store a lot of my powder paint and stuff, and baby food jars but plastic would be the better way to go. Make sure that they are not hard plastic is hard plastic my crack. Make sure that they are soft type jars.

Most of the manufacturers that I have purchased powder from have always shipped in a cardboard box with a plastic bag inside. I'm talking a good quality heavy plastic bag with a twist tie - not something you would put your sandwich in.
After looking at the color chart, I was a little bit dissapointed. I was really hoping to maybe get some bright neons, or candy colors. Are we for sure going to use this supplier - if so I will put together my list of colors?

Guy's I didnt say we had to buy from this supplier.Just made a suggestion about one I have done lots of business with, and like their paints.It looked to me like a way to put a couple pounds of paint in your hands for around 30 dollars instead of 50... Thought saving the initial shipping might help a little,which can be as much as the item itself sometimes.

I said in one of my first posts the downside is,no candy or flo colors...Which is why I like the clear and glitter, to make my own custom colors.

And jigman is correct,when they ship,its a heavy plastic bag with a tie,in a cardboard box..
