Damn,

Had I known that was coming, I would have ordered more. I am expecting three jars this week. Red Bull Blue, Williams Blue, White primer. I hope it shows up. I got an e-mail Friday that it had shipped. I should have ordered the 2-Flying Lizard Blue's :(

We'll manage. Somehow we were able to paint our models before Zero Paints, and we'll figure out a way to paint without them. It was nice stuff though. We sure took a hit on the shipping charges.

Steve later posted on his Facebook page a picture of the letter that the Royal Mail sent him. Apparently, the paints have been 'destroyed'

So Fuel Buzzed, in other words, someone from the Royal Mail's Red Bull RB6 build will have been speeded up a bit! :)

Do they have different Facebook pages? The Zero Paits page that I have liked doesn't say anything. The last post is a review in late January of their mclaren mp4 paint.


Nevermind saw it on the hiro fb page not the zero paints page.

Model Car World is really comprehensive and is pretty good to deal with. I've used their Repsol Orange and Parmalat Blurple and they're spot on. Pretty reasonable costs for those of us in the US.
