Spoemand Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Have you considered using Amazon? They have a lot of that stuff there. Or maybe Ebay. Maybe you can write to their official website and suggest them using worldwide delivery through social media. There is even an article on how to do it properly https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/social-media/ and how they will benefit from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jkool559 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Try Cro-hobby.com. One of the guys in the MRP facebook page said he orders from them and they deliver to him in the US. Id imagine delivering to Canada wouldnt be an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 thanks for the help guys. I did check Amazon, none there and i will not give ebay any more of my time. I don't think I will be buying any more Mr.paint until there is a Canadian company selling it. in the meantime I am going to give Mrcolor paints a second shot for my tomcat TPS schemes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, no luck getting anyone to ship to Canada. Except through eBay. I was ordering direct before Mr Paint stopped shipping to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I’m curious, why won’t MRP ship to Canada? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 I asked my LHS about them yesterday. apparently there is an issue with labeling not being Bilingual. the warnings are not in French. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Look at a bottle of Tamiya paint in Canada and you will see a new label over the original that complies with Canadian labeling laws. I'm not sure if Tamiya or the Canadian importer does it but it has to be done to sell here. Note that Testors puts English, French and Spanish on their labels from the start to cover North America. Apparently Mr. Paint doesn't view the Canadian market as worthwhile....... Edited October 29, 2018 by RCAFFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Labeling is very complicated. https://www.latmultilingual.com/3-important-facts-about-canadian-labelling-laws/ In reality the only thing that needs to be French/English is the product identity. Which is often one and the same. The other requirements are the volume must be in metric (numbers are considered bi-lingual) and the place of manufacture can be French or English. My place of employment imports a lot of chemicals used in the medical world. Most our products are only in English. What must be bi-lingual is the SDS (Safety Data Sheets) for WHIMIS. Which is what the CRA is looking for at the border. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was taking with an employee with Borgfelt, the Canadian Tamiya distributor, he and his wife apply the labels by hand at home watching T.V. Any updates or MRP availability in Canada? In particular I’d like to try the water based line.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DONG Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I just bought a jar of the water based line from Sprue Bros. and they shipped it yesterday. I'd like to try it as well. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DONG Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Yes, it was shipped by Sprue Bros cheapest internationnal which is picked up by UPS and sent to the border. I only bought 1 bottle and a 1/48 Hasegawa F-8J. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I've used the GSB. It's fantastic. I have my grays on the way now. With MM Acryl going away, this seems like it's going to be my replacement. You can brush paint it as well, and the hue is the same as the sprayed paint. So, if you need to touch up, you can do it with a brush. Adhesion seemed to be better than other acrylics I've tried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I've had 2 Sea Blue colors in the Mr. Paint (MRP) line on order with HobbyWorld-USA since January, and I just checked this minute, and noted that both those colors are FINALLY showing in stock! I just sent Matt (the owner) an e-mail to ask him about the status of my order, and I'm waiting on a reply. Matt has been very good to work with, and always personally responds to e-mail questions very quickly. I'm sure I'll hear back this morning. I'd still consider using his company to get your MRP paints. Edited April 15, 2020 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their proprietary brand or something else? I presume you are using the acrylic paint vs the lacquer paint. I'm waiting (impatiently) for Walts to re-open!!!! Hope you are all well out there.

Bob Believe it or not, MM Acryl thinner seemed to work. I did have a small problem with running it through a fine tip. It started to clog. When I changed to a wider diameter tip, it sprayed just fine. How long has he been closed? I've been fortunate enough to have my LHS take phone orders. I pick them up at the door. I also have Sprue Bros. that's still open that I could drive to if absolutely necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Minor update to this thread (squashing a rumor, mostly). It has been suggested elsewhere that Express Hobbies in Saskatchewan stock MRP paint. THEY DO NOT. I reached out to them and was told that no, they do not stock MPR, nor do they have a distributor for them. Once again, someone has confused MRP with Mr. Color. 🙄 I guess that whenever you ask about it, you should say "Does anyone sell MRP Paint, the stuff in the Alclad-like bottle?' Or just, "Does anyone sell this stuff? " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkwan Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) FYI - we can ship the aqua and figure lines of MRP to Canada since they are non-hazardous. We cannot ship (no reasonable cost shipping method to be specific because of the hazmat requirements) the solvent based MRP outside the US (including Canada) since it is considered hazardous for shipping (yes we think it is bizarre that a 1oz bottle of solvent based paint is a problem despite thousands of gallons of jet fuel on board, but we don't make the rules and regulations). Anyone shipping the regular solvent based MRP paint to Canada from the US through the mail is doing so illegally. If caught, they could be subject to big fines.
