Hello All, some comments and questions:
Well, I ordered just a 1oz bottle for the Kia Spectra in Pearl Magenta Metallic, and received it yesterday afternoon. (I have some Sealact Solution and other goods from another full kit)
The order was packed well, paint bottle was in a padded envelope inside a larger box, typical of what the entire kit would be packed in.
The new Paint Bottle is now Clear Plastic, has a White Plastic Flip Top Cap, and upon shaking again discovered it has a "Rattler" inside the bottle to aid mixing. (like that feature) The Cap is Shrink Covered with a clear Plastic, another nice touch to insure nothing can open during shipment.
Thinking some about the Plastic Bottle, I at first was a bit disappointed, but thinking some more about it this morning, and thinking about when I actually put this paint to use, there may be some good advantages to the change.
While I haven't opened the bottle yet, I'll assume that all one will now have to do, is shake well, flip open the Cap, and then simply dip the Applicator Brush through the small opening at the top of the Cap.
This should prove advantageous in that there won't be a need to unscrew any caps, and I've had noted that if one did not clean the older Bottle's Cap, and Bottle Threads after use, you could have difficulty removing the cap the next time you use it.
The other assumption I have, should also be less air hitting the paint, meaning it will have less tendency to dry, or thicken over time due to solvent evaporation.
The Plastic Bottle of course could probably be damaged, but might well be another good advantage if one accidently drops the bottle on hard pavement. This Plastic Bottle should not break with a simple dropping from chest level. Or if tipped while open, one will likely not lose as much product as before.
Haven't put any of these observations to the test just yet, but I'd like retracting some previous short and somewhat negative comments I made in another thread here recently.
One question is, when AG holds their many sales, is Dr Colorchip also sold at discounted prices, or are there commonly usually exclusions for this product?
