Hi all, hope you're all enjoying the typical British weather :frown: .
Was hoping you could help enlighten me as to if you know anything about Tamiya having to recall all it's spray paint cans to be "re-labelled". That's what I've been told by my LHS and they said they might be restocked in 2008!
I'm wondering is there any where I can buy my paints before then? I'm glad to know that Hiroboy ships the TS-13....but then I wonder why not the other colours?!
I'm in London btw, so if anyone knows somewhere I could get my hands on adecent stock of paints, I'd be most grateful...thanks!

I have asked the same question building my CLK-DTM.
The genral feeling is - if you can find a Hiroboy color to replace the TS, use that, otherwise (like in my case), import from US or Japan.
Also I can recommend Halford auto colours.
I do wonder if our EU friends can help us and point us to any online EU retailer that sells TS sprays and ships to UK?
P.S> Modelsforsale.com still have TS stocks, some, not all.

Again, over here in Germany you can still get the TS cans. Would need to order them, but I could send them over to you... So there is an offer!

So that's why it's out of stock right now and I can't get any! :nono:
Thanks for the replies guys. Hmm, I always thought that pressurised containers couldn't be shipped/delivered so I didn't know eBay would have them. Thanks for the offer godfather23, maybe when I know I have a large order I'll consider.
I don't understand what needs to be re-labelled if it's worked for so long...
