COAST GUARD PAINT
Since Flo Quil discontinued their line of USCG Paints there has been no paint available specifically blended to match colors. We have been talking to one of the larger paint suppliers and theu are considering the development of these colors. The big question is.....
Is there a demand for this product? For all of our customers that work on USCG Projects, please contact us and let us know if this is a product you would like to see on the market.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT STEP-BY-STEP BUILD OF THE WESTBOURNE
This monthe we will continue with the building of the westbourne tug. Before presentingthis months installment I would like to make a quick comment. One of the main goals of this project is to get everyone thinking and asking questions with regard to all aspects of model building. We strongly encourage the asking of any question you may have but please do us one favor. That would be to ask your question on our bulletin board. I will then post the answer there as well. This way everyone following along will benefit from every question asked and its answer. In thisway we will all gain as much as possible from this project.
Thanks - Don
