I have spoken with Mac on several occasions to attempt to retail "Zero" paints and Mac has said he has sent inquiries to Steve at Hiroboy regarding a distributorship and is awaiting the determination of whether it is a practical thing. I guess our US postal service has a phobia about "hazardous" materials but in fact everything on an airplane is hazardous given an "ignition" source. A bottle of alcohol or large bottle of perfume is "fine" but a small bottle of paint is "dangerous" go figure - you know the wisdom of our government since 911. I'll get a call off to Mac to see if there are any further developments. - John
