Post by: Clare Bottorff on February 02, 2011, 09:20:11 AM

Is there a good source for Nelson paints available?

The last thing that I've heard about Nelson was that they were throwing in the towel and hoping for a buyer.  Search on Nelson paint from the forum home page and you should find the relevant post.  They're the exclusive distributor for model aircraft for the manufacturer, who is I think System 3.

Do you want to buy a business?  The economy's supposed to be going up, now's the time to get it started if you want to avoid the rush.

Any newer news?  Nelson's was bought, but still has the same notice from February 17th that's been there for ages.  Has anyone bought paint from them in the last two months?  Was it a success?

       The new owner is John Desilets. Here is his e-mail nelsonhobby@gmail.com. I've e-mailed him twice in the last few weeks and he's told me that he could provide me with the same colors as Jerry Nelson did. Paints are available in 8.0z or 16.0. Ken
