Do you mean http://www.blackgoldweb.com where you can get the House of Kolor paints?

If this is the right place then yeah its a good place to order from. I know the owner Jack and hes a stand up guy. I have even ordered off thier website just so I dont have to drive the 60 mile round trip to the store. Awsome packaging-fast shipping...

Ive not used them personally but I know of several people in my car club that has and they say it works good. However you will need to test it out on some scrap body first just so you can judge how far you out you need to have the can to prevent orange peel. Jack did tell me that its a bit heaver that their normal HOK airbrush paint so beaware it might drip if put on too close.

Can you please persuade him to ship to Germany? I'm interested in his stuff, but he doesn't ship overseas.

Actually, it is not a security issue at all - it's a "hazardous material" issue.
Even within the US, you CANNOT send any cans of spray paint by air cargo, it has to be shipped via ground transport. If you were to ship a rattle can via air, it would explode due to the altitude and temps.
Also shipping even jars of paint overseas is a true pain in the ass because of the rules/regulations of foriegn countries regarding the importation of "hazardous materials".

OK, I understand that. But can't it be possible to ship the rattle cans from the USA to Europe via surface mail, e. g. ship? It's possible from Japan.
