Paint shortage

[GFB]

no your not kidding !!

Well, no, but I’m trying not to paint with too broad a brush.

Raw material storages are a real thing. Some of the manufactures are shutting down for good. Everyone will eventually feel this soon.

Never meet a painter that wasn’t a drunk.

Everybody hates painting. That's why painters are always drunk.

Just kidding.

Is there really ANY other way to paint??

 

[ARCman47]

I can confirm that. Just ran up to ingles to get some (it‘s about all I’ve been drinking other than bottled water since I’ve been sick) and that whole section was empty. Only Gatorade is the powdered kind

IV in a bottle. Thank me later

It is only going to get worse. Gubmint has to have something to divert away from Xiden's abandonment of Americans in the 'Stan AND the 2022 elections are coming up for the House and 1/3 of the Senate. They NEED the entire US quarantined so they can mail out another unrequested billion absentee ballots to P.O. Boxes and vacant lots - just like in 2020 when Xiden stole the election...

Perhaps. I think the Afghan fiasco is a diversion for something else, far more degenerate and evil....

Haven't thought it out yet, but rest assured it will not be good for anyone but the deep state.

I work at Sherwin Williams and we are experiencing a latex shortage. 2 of the 3 major suppliers have major damage to their facilities. We are still making paint at 75% rate. Hope this helps.

I work for a major world wide industrial supply house. We get supply chain emails that look ahead six months. It's scary. Tin and aluminum can shortages are another issue effecting paint. (And soon to be beer.) We're about 4 months out on all of it... Krylon, Rust-Oleum. The ports on both coasts are backed up about six months. All those cargo ships of the cost of California are full finished goods and raw material. And we can't turn around empty ones quick enough. Covid and higher unemployment benefits have greatly reduced the number of dock workers... At least that's what our emails say.

Well good lord, I try to keep a firm grip on reality these days, but can you blame me? I work outside in Georgia heat in Biden's America

Spray paint is having a shortage as well.

A factory up north somewhere exploded a few months back. I think they were a supplier of oil based type paints. I was looking for clear coats for my truck and I was having a hell of a time finding it.

At least that's what I have heard. Not sure how much they produced/supplied though.
