It would be nice to have the option of buying sets like flesh at a discount due to how many are in the set and also have the ability to top up with single jars as required.

Darren:
Thank you for your reply. As mentioned before Tru-Color Paint produces 5 different paint sets - 3 automotive, 1 weathering set and 1 flat, brushable set. Very few of these sets sold even though they sold at a lower price than single bottles. We still have 100's in stock. The most reasonable package size for our brand is 6 1 oz. bottles.
Distributors and hobby shops don't care for the sets as they are more costly to inventory with lower turnover rates than individual bottles. The other issue was selection - what does a manufacture put into the sets that is most useful to the modeler ?
For these reasons Tru-Color Paint at this time will not make sets. However, we are willing to put it to a vote of the modeling community. Would you purchase sets (at a lower price than single bottles) of 1) Flesh/Figure Colors; 2) MERDC Armored colors; 3) Detailing colors (like rusts, ash, muds, etc.) ?
Let's hear from you. Would having sets be more of an incentive to buy Tru-Color Paint ?
