In addition to MinnFlyer's suggestion...
A hobbyshop should have knowledgable staff. I was in a local shop a while back looking for some paint. I was looking for "RAF Roundel Red". When I asked the guy if he had it he said he had never heard of "Randel Red". When I reiterated the word "Roundel" to him, he got all defensive and told me he wasn't a plane person, but that he knew everything there was to know about turbo chargers and blowers. I left without my paint. Funny thing is, they don't sell turbo chargers and blowers - they do however, sell hobby paints. If the staff doesn't know the products they sell, then they are not a useful resource to their customers.
