Default RE: Bad Batch of Top Flite Spray Paint

Well I found the problem after yelling at Tower and Hobby Services. The three stores here apparently all have cans on the shelves which have been discontinued for "2 YEARS!" If I had to guess, Greatplanes or whoever back their distributes this stuff have been depleting their shelves and filling up the hobby stores with old product

There is one way to check the paint before you buy it and that is to check the Tower catalog before you buy it locally. Towers numbers are current. If the number in the catalog does not match the one in the store, don't buy it!. They also said there are new formulas for which the Tower numbers are current.

Thanks for the original tips but i , thnk I'll wait for the new can to arrive.
