I bring the Gillespie stuff thru customs all the time and have never had an issue yet. Don't use the term automotive paint.

I remember talking to one of the vendors at the MVPA convention a few years back, and after our discussion, he was going to delete the word "vehicle" from his cans as he would not be able to export to Canada.

Thanks Rob. I think the term you're looking for is either dog turd or baby ka-ka.

I'll need the khaki as well but my immediate need is for No.2 Brown, dead matt and I have good colour swatches to match from. Is there a paint brand in Canada (or even the USA that matter) that will match and sell a decent equipment paint? In the past I used Sherwin Williams industrial paint until it went silly expensive then McDonald White in Windsor who no longer sells oil based paint.
