chambersofminiatures 22 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have a bottle of Coal Black 09693 that is almost out of paint. I do not see it on the Reaper site to purchase. Was this a limited color or a eliminated color, if so, how do I get more? Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Palmer 25974 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Coal Black is part of their Holiday Colors set, which I believe is only available during the holidays. So it should be making a reappearance soon. Now whether it will be available separately, I have no idea. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gadgetman! 20107 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Quick tip; 19mm heatshrink tubing fits nicely on te caps of Reaper's paint bottles. I've put orange tubing on all my 'limited availability' paints, and red on all those that are out of production. (I haven't bothered to do this with the discontinued HD line, though. But I did buy a complete set of extras. ) So I can see at a glance of the paint I'm considering is a general use or one I might want to save for special occasions. Just wrapping some coloured electrical tape around them may also work... You just have to write to Santa... or Sophie and tell them that you've been nice and could they make it so that Reaper brings out the Holiday paintset this year... 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tpugmire 18 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 There’s a holiday set on eBay right now if you need it that bad. I thought about getting it, but I’d rather support Reaper directly, since I assume it’s coming back soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serenity 4940 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I believe it was last year they made the holiday colors available separately. Since my paint needs/wants are somewhat limited, I really appreciate it when they have that option. But I always feel sorry for those who live in a cold climate and who can't safely buy their holiday paints at that time of year. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratmaster2000 7999 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I don't remember it being sold separately BUT I do remember they threw them in as bonus bottles in my holiday orders (along with one of the white holiday colors), so now on top of the bottle in my holiday box, I have 2 or 3 extras. I wish they would sell them individually (even if it's just during the holidays), as I am in need of a gingerbread cookie bottle (used almost half 2 years ago for my art school final project).

That's when I've seen it as singles. Had enough that I gave away a few bottles even. If you need it ASAP, I'd get it from a 2nd party seller. It is a pretty abundant seasonal paint so I suspect a few places have it online, or on Ebay. Otherwise wait until holidays. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strawhat 7429 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 All the 096XX paints are limited edition. I maintain a list (link in the signature) if you feel curious about which other paints in your collection might be limited availability. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chambersofminiatures 22 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks Jon, I ordered 5 bottles yesterday after you announced the singles on FB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratmaster2000 7999 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I did a project for my Graphic design final, and I went through almost half a bottle of gingerbread cookie using my airbrush:( So I ordered 2 just to be safe. And I'll now have 5 bottles of coal black (I got 3 last year as pack in's from my orders along with the snowdrift white) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
