Has anybody done a Hiroboy Zero custom mix?

Sorry to hear this.
The only good thing is I just got an order and i've got at least 6 months till I'll be needing to find a replacement.
I know I can get paint elsewere, but it will be very hard if not impossible to get better service than Leon has provided.

That's just a shame. I can only wish Leon all the best...

That is so sad. For Leon and for the modelling community, as can be seen in the comments. I sincerely hope the closing is only temporary and wish Leon the best of luck.
Cheers

I hope Leon is doing ok

...I dont know should I stop ordering other Gallardos as I no long have the paint supply.

That's too bad, since I live in Canada, I order CC paint 1 time a year and it was suppose to be next week :-( I was gonna order 20-30 jars.

And about paint that Hiroboy sells, can we order it in Canada?

Good Luck Leon!

Sad to learn Leon had to quit for now. I love the CC paints, and have come to miss them for almost a year since I moved back to France. I have since ordered Model Colour Worx paints a couple times and found their plastic bottles to be seriously leaking, too. I have bought a few 1Oz glass jar from a pharmacy (60c a bottle with cap!!) to store them and have had no "hardening" problem till now. But the paint is much more expensive than CC, 6 euros (approx. $7.5) for 40ml whereas we got 80ml for $6 from Leon...

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the "paint application guide" from MCW and Zero (Hiroboy's) are exact copies from Cobra colors guide, word for word! At first I thought "Hey, this must be same paint!"....

I wish you the best Leon, and hope you can get back to this hobby someday soon, as you can see you have a bunch of loyal customers who will wait for you. I would still be among them, if only customs would let a few ounces of paint through the border...

His paints were top notch..I had to back out of an order that I needed to finish up a couple of projects. Life altering events in my life..It seems to be that cycle, everyone is going through something right now. Leon, If you are reading this, Thank you for all of the help you provided, hopefully you will still lurk around the boards, and Good Luck My Friend!!

Zero Paints Application Guide is not the same as anyone elses. Please have a read.
http://www.hiroboy.com/pdf/zero-paint-instruction.pdf, I've not seen Cobra Colours guide, but the Zero Guide was written from scratch, so I very much doubt it would be the same.

Sorry for the confusion Hiroboy, I read the MCW guide on YOUR site and did not pay attention enough.

tonioseven · #28 10-25-2006, 09:26 PM

Although I wish Leon the very best in everything he does, this will be a major setback for all of my future projects.

I was going to place a rather large order but there are more important things than modeling. Best of luck my friend.
