I was doing some on-line shopping last night and trying to get enough items to get the free shipping. While perusing the automotive section, I was pleasantly surprised to see Walmart sells automotive paint kits. However, I was shocked to see House of Colors sold through their web-site. Anybody have any thoughts?

 

As is the case with many web-based sales outlets, WalMart included, they offer products that they do not actually carry. If you look at the listings on WalMart.com for House of Kolor products you will see that they are actually sold by TCP Global. TCP (Tri-City Paints) is located here in San Diego and is a large online retailer of HOK and other automotive refinishing products.

 

How are the shipping prices?

One of the problems we run into on the Steelsoldiers site is the high cost of shipping "hazardous materials" ie: some paints.

Then again, that may just be volume. It takes about 3-4 gallons of paint for an M35A2 (deuce and a half) and a solid 4 gallons to paint an M817 (5-Ton)

 

Check out TCP's items on ebay...there have been times I bought paint from them and had it shipped (even though I live in the area) because it was cheaper than driving. Smartshoppers is another source that ships at a good rate.
