Re: [CBQ] Depot, Paint

Ken,

There are still some out of the way hobby shops that have an ample 
selection of Floquil and Polly S. I was at Valley Roundhouse in Spring 
Valley, IL, a few months ago and he had a full rack of both Floquil and 
Polly S - many with the price from 10-20 years ago new in the bottle. He 
is a cash/check only operation, so that is probably why he has a lot.
