paint swap

[Nightprowler]

Radtexan, you might want to order 8 of these free USPS flat rat boxes. They deliver them to your door for free. I think the paint will fit in these boxes, plus a flat rate of $10.95 for easy calculations. https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/sto...WT.ac=10000274

Whatever you end up doing (colors) is OK with me. Haven't done much with clear, so maybe its a good time to try it out.

Guy's, I spent some time and compared some duplicate color. I then divided the colors into their groups to make it easier to compare. Here is another rough draft and I would like for this to be real close to wrapping up on the color selection. If anybody has comments, please do so now.

3. Copper Vein---------------------Copper special effect

4. Gloss Black----------------------Black

12. 3020 Traffic Red--------------Bright Red
13. 3000 Flame Red---------------Dark Red-------------------old number----->5001 green blue

1. Hammer Green-----------------Green special effect
7. 6010 Grass Green--------------Dark Green
9. 6018 Yellow Green-------------Light Green

2. Hammer Blue-------------------Blue special effect
8. 5017 Traffic Blue---------------Medium Blue
10. 5018 Turquoise Blue----------Light Blue

5. 1016 Sulfur Yellow-------------Light Yellow
15. 1023 Traffic Yellow-----------Dark Yellow-----------------old number---->7001 Silver Gray

6. 2012 Salmon Orange----------Orange/Pink
14. 2004 Pure Orange------------Orange----------------------old number----> 4005--blue violet

11. 4010 Telemagenta-----------Pink/purple
16. 4008 Signal Violet------------Purple

$8.95 X 4-lbs.................= $35.80........($286.40 total for 32 pounds)
1/8 of tax......................= $ 2.96 ........(8.25% tax of $23.63)
1/7 of zip baggies............= $ 1.43..........(guestimate of $10 for zip or tie baggies)
USPS flat rate shipping.....= $10.95
.................................._______
Final Cost....................=$51.14

$51.50 divide 4 pounds ($12.79 per) or 64 ounces (. 80 per). This reflect that we are paying $3.20 for approx. 4-oz. of 16 different colors delivered to your door.

NOTE: if you want a pound of clear, add $9.70 ($8.95 + .75 tax)to your total per pound. There should be no additional shipping cost on the flat rate boxes.

Again this is a rough estimate. RadTexan will be the one to tell us exactly how much and where to send our payment. And we owe him a BIG THANKS for getting this packaged and sent back.

When do you need the money NP?

[Nightprowler]

Guy's, Here is the cleaned up version of our list. Again, if anyone has any concerns or comments, now is the time to voice them. If everyone is OK with these colors, we will be moving forward Saturday 3/5. I contacted ORBITTX and discussed some of the concerns we had with shipping containers. He advised me that they ship paint from 1 to 10 pound containers, using plastic bags with twist ties in cardboard boxes, all over the country and have had no problems. He did not recommend zip-lock style bags. I also PM'd Radtexan and asked him to go over the figures and see if everything seemed in order. I figure everyone should have payment sent to Radtexan, and he received them by next weekend or before. Next will be for him to find the time to order, pick up, divide and package, then ship it make to each of us. We are getting close.
Thanks again,
NightProwler

Colors look good to me Nightprowler, good job.

[radtexan]

Thanks for all the hard work Prowler .....

Ill send everyone a pm this weekend with the info.The only thing still outstanding,is, Im not sure 4# of paint will fit into the 10.95 flat rate box.Volume wise it sure looks like we need a bigger box..I need to find out if UPS might be better on shipping,rather than going up to the 15.95 flat rate from USPS..

[Nightprowler]

Radtexan, I want to add the additional 1-lb of clear to my order. Figure that into my total and box size please.
Thanks again,
NightProwler
