Hi "New-Englander"!,
Most ACE stores can get it if they don't stock it.
* Other paint stores may have it too, even SW or BM outlets.
* I'll post the ACE sku#, so you can give it to an ACE store to see if their warehouse stocks it. I may have posted this # somewhere in this paint forum too...

PS...
(I mentioned a few days back....I set up an Endcap in our store with CC gallons & qt's...plus a dozen gallons of C2's SAP-Primer! Seems like this stuff is scarce-est where it's desired the most!!)

Thanks Faron-yes I agree-most "can" special order it-but finding someone who "will" and understands the words "customer service" has been very discouraging. They just say -oh we don't have that-and when I ask about ordering it-well they are not forth coming about helping and doing that. Maybe because they don't often/ever have to do it and they don't know how--I really don't know. The SKU # would definately be helpful. I won't be starting this project until September so I have some time to look around. But at some point I just might say the heck with it and buy BM. But I really want to try CC and would like to work on all my trim and doors over the fall months.
I am a bit of a novice/perfectionist, but I must say I do a good job.

I'll also search this site for the sku#

Thanks again

True Value stores also order Cabinet Coat.

Insl-X is also affliated with Coronado Paints. Check with a local Coronado dealer and perhaps they will be more helpful.

Brunning Paint Company is also a partner with Insl-X.

Hi again Newfie,
I finally dug up the ACE-system SKU#...1214238.
* This is for the White gallon. There's an Almond...and a different SKU#; and a tint-base.
* For tinted colors, the tint-base HAS to be used.

>>> If you go the ACE route...
* Most ACE dealers are hooked up to ACENET, where they can search all U.S. warehouses that ACE distributes from. This winter, I had to order a special caulk that only an Arizona ACE whse. stocked. Separate UPS freight would be paid by customer obviously.
* With this SKU#, ANY ACE should be able to see if they can get it from their closest w/house.
* ND stores are serviced from Wisconsin.
* If they can't get it from their normal whse., extra freight charges would apply for you.
* Minimum order is a case of 2 gallons for the store; or a case of 4 qts. I'm sure they'd gladly order 2 gallons if you prepaid for it. If it came on their normal freight truck, there's no extra freight charge. Ask your stores policies on this though!!!
* Each store may charge different retails. A small store may need to charge more. Sorry, can't get into actual costs obviously!

Michael, Faron-thank you both so much for going out of your way to help me. I am armed with the sku# and will stop at the big Ace hardware on my way home. I did try calling a Brunning dealer listed from their website-but they are no longer carrying Brunning. So Ace or True Value will be by best choice I think. Boy-finding this paint is hard work and time consuming-I'd rather be painting.....at least I would get a feeling of accomplishment.
Thanks again.

The hard work hasn't begun..*s*

I live in the Springfield, MA, area and contacted our local Rocky's Ace Hardware store and they special ordered it for me. They were very helpful and very accommodating. Also, if you e-mail Insl-x, they will give you the name of a dealer in your area.

At any rate, the paint is great and worth the wait!

Thanks everyone. I still have not found it-but I must admit I have postponed my painting project(s) until I finish my outside project(s). But I need to find a supplier and order it so I will be ready when Fall comes.
Thanks again!

If you can't find anyone who will order it for you in your area you might try online. I saw it on amazon.com. There are a couple different ones listed with different order numbers. I couldn't tell what the difference was. I think it can come in one of their pre-mixed colors, or you can buy the tintable base and have it tinted your own color, so maybe that's the difference. It can only be tinted light, pastel colors I read. I think some of those vendors on the Amazon site sold it in cans of 2. I just did cabinets, baseboard trim and a door in a bathroom and didn't even use a half of a gallon can. I think I paid about $40 for the gallon size. The store where I bought it locally also sold several other brands of paint. I picked an off-white paint chip from one of the other brands and they mixed it in the cabinet coat base. They had to tweak it though, (added about 2 1/2 times the normal amount of colorant) to get it the right color. It is a really nice finish, so I hope you can find it. Here's the amazon link:
