Thanks, guys. Reranch was the source I found, and, actually, a Chinese company offering custom can filling under "motorcycle colors", which looked a little far afield.

Not to complicate this thread, but has anyone sprayed clear nitro over acrylic lac or acrylic enamel, or any automotive touchup colors? Oh, for the old days ('70s & '80s) when you could look at a huge collection of color chips and the body and fender (!) supply would mix it.

I used to get Ditzler from one of 2 local auto paint shops! Excellent stuff! I have'nt been there in years though.

Thanks, Billy

I plan to hit my local auto paint supplier first thing tomorrow, but I'm losing heart - with nitro in such bad odor, it ain't looking good. I'm going to start experimenting with things like Krylon under acrylic. Yikes.

I'm not sure what color you're looking for but Mohawk has a complete line of lacquers & wood finishing products....

I've bought some Toners, Clears & a Flow-out through Pond Cove ...
