REAL PAINT the way it was made back in the olden days. I have seen signs done 50+ years ago and they look better than some signs done 3 years ago!
This might be what the doctor ordered.

Doug,
Thanks for the post and the web link.
it is hard to find traditionaly made paint and I think It will be a great source.
As for one shot and sign painting, due to the limited palet (colors) most sign artists have traditionally adjusted thier palet to make up for the lack of colors offered by one shot.When at some point you can't find that just right color you can pull out the oils or universal tints and mix your favorite flavor.
When one is painting you have to use all the nessasary mediums to acomplish the task.
I have a complete line of one shot and love useing them.They dry fast and cover great.I love the smell.And besides my dads kit (about 60 years old is color matched to it).
Die hard one shot shot fan
