1-Shot Lettering Enamel.

Look in the Yellow Pages under sign supplies for a local supplier.

Avoid Eastwood.

Avoid Eastwood.
Why avoid Eastwood? I was just getting ready to order from them.

[Unkl Ian]

They Screwed one of the guys on the Metalshapers board on a business deal.
Stole his design,and had someone else make copies,
while still using photos of the original in their catalogs. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif





And you can get anything they have,cheaper,elsewhere.

1 Shot definely! Do not even mess around with inferior qualitly stuff, it will only frustrate you.

If you can't find it local, I have had good service from www.misterart.com (http://www.misterart.com) on line. Quick shipping and most all colors in stock.

Get some 1-Shot High Temperature Reducer too.

[Lucky1]

I use 1-shot. I have used HOK, but to expensive. And I prefer 1-shot. What kind of brushes you planning on using?

[Pinstriper]

Well lets see...what does Unk say...yep...none better than One Shot. I will concur with the concensus of the board, not because it's the cool thing to do, but One Shot™ is all I use...

[Missing Link]

Yes, One-Shot will work the best for you in my opinion.

I just don't understand this...

Did he submit his design to them or something? Just wondering...I got brush, I got paint, la-la-la-la...

Some people here have a hard on for Eastwood, but I have nothing but good things to say about them. (Dick-Head Blick is a complete other story.) But then again, I live relatively close to their wharehouse and can drive there and get what I need instead of ordering it.

They were buying a product from him,that he designed and manufactured,for resale.
Then they cut him out of the loop,
and got someone else to make sloppy copys of that design,most likely at a lower cost.

The same way Speedway screwed over Vern Tardell. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Wallmart is a bad influence.
