I use Ronan now.
1-S Bright red turns the color and texture of a brick after two years.
The black is really iffy too.
I checked the label but can't see any mention of lead, now that was when 1S was king.
I can get either brand quite easily from local suppliers any day of the week.
Love....Jill

Mixing colors with 1shot was always an adventure, it doen't always follow the logical course...we used to use a mxing technique we call "sneaking up on the color" and if you went a little too far you had another cup of "baby poop brown" to add to the container of paint used for painting sign backs and posts.
Of course when you did nail the color you wanted just try to replicate it again!

Jill, they took the lead out a few years back and since then it's been a nightmare.
I still do a lot of pinstriping and hand lettering. I add automotive hardener to the 1 Shot to help it live a little longer.
I do a lot of touch up on painted pinstripes for body shops. I have yet to never match a color. I enjoy the challenge.
Billct2 I always called that color "Babies First Summer" or "Septic Sirese".

I do the same thing here too.
As for the red, I was told that right after the big switch to lead-free paint, that they had some big problems with durability, gloss, & fading (like Jill and everyone else had experienced)...especially with the reds. Apparently, there was a big batch of 1S red that was bad from the start, but has now been fixed, and the red is better again...(apparently this really hurt their business) But we all sure miss the lead.

I think he's gonna paint up some Easter Eggs for the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt in his community.
He paints the eggs with the lead paint and then hides the little things all over his property. When the kids come looking for their eggs he jumps out in his 'Speedo' Bunny suit and scares the little bastards off crying and scarred for life.... especially that burnt image on their retinas and brain of him in that outfit.

old stuff says contains LEAD right on the label...i guess if you have kids licking your signs it was a bad thing....
i couldn't see the lead on the label....that was my next question....some of my smarter friends in the old school sign biz bought gallons & gallons of leaded paint before it was D/C'ed. They have broken much of it down into smaller containers for use. One fellow sign guy owned his own sign supply co....he bought tons at wholesale and rat holed it. Me i wasn't that rich...at least those leaded colors will last a while, unlike Maroon, Fire Red, Purple, Med Brown..and the list goes on...there isn't anything else (really) to use for hand lettering besides it so what you gonna do?

I wish you weren't on the OTHER side of the country. My shipping costs would kill me on this.

If someone needed a color I had plenty of, I would help. Although we're a Merchant Member.... it's not for selling this sort of stuff.
I just wanted to set that straight, so people don't call us for paint. I'm not set up to sell those sort of goods. Besides, we use a lot of it. I personally don't paint near as much as I used to, but some others here still do.
