Easy there trigger.................

There is a catch this is for persons in the modesto area of california that want a five gallon bucket full of spray paint and little bottles of paint . This is from my personal stash of paint and i can not ship it because it would cost to much to do so. So i tried to give it to a local school arts department but they wouldn't accept it for some random reason and i could not locate any one to donate it to so heck i figure i would post it up here. So if you want it send me a PM

That is so very cool of you nitrocomplex! Why are ya giving it all up? It can't just be for the awesome Karma you're building with the givaway.

Again, pretty darn cool!

Well i am moving and it's just a package i don't want to ship being flammable and all. And i will be able to replace it at the LHS near where i am moving to or even from an online retailer so i figured i would offer it up here to some one who might get use from the paint or could even pass it along to a group that could use it. It's all free and clear no strings

Have you tried any local Cub Scout/ Boy Scout/ Girl Scout troops? I have donated craft supplies and things like that to them before.

Just a thought.

Yeah craigslist i wouldn't if i was paid to. It's not the best of places and i just have a feeling certain types of wall artist would love to get there hands on all this paint. I really don't want to have the idea in my mind that the paint is being used to tag the place up. The old saying one bad apple spoiles the bunch.

Out of curiosity why are you getting rid of the bottles of paint? They shouldn't be flamable.

I recently moved from South Africa down to Australia and shipped all my model paints (bar aerosols) without a problem, and the Aussie Quarantine boys are of the toughest in the world. Now having seen the prices of the paints in a LHS over the weekend and the quantity I brought I'm really glad I brought them.

That said, it's really good of you to offer your paints for free. Good on ya mate!

Well it's better to get rid of it all instead of throwing some out and giveing away the rest this way here whom ever gets it will get the most bang for no buck. And it's all fresh new paint no more then a month old the rattle cans are all still factory sealed as are most of the bottle paint. I might try a few more youth groups but so far no one wants to seem to touch the paint it's weird really.
