Default Future Kit Supplies

Most of us have a few kits stashed away. I have about 10 of my favorite models that are no longer in production. I typically build one every winter, so that means I will start the last kit build in 10 years lets say.

My question: in 10 years do you think that the majority of supplies (Ultrcote / Monocoat, fiberglass cowls, composite landing gears, tail wheels, ...) will still be available? I know some of the parts will be around to support ARF's, but as an example paint that matches covering is hard to find. I find that I have to travel to different stores to get what I need; Home Depot / Lowes for fasteners, Micheals for balsa.

Is it my crazy paranoid thinking, or is it time to stock up?
