Testors is discontinuing the Pactra, PollyScale and Floquil paint lines and accessories under those brand names. They are not coming back in any form.

They are closing a 115,000 sq ft. production facility and "merging" it with an existing 27,000 sq ft. facility. Do the math. The 170 current employees are not all going to fit under that new roof. There are many in the Model Railroad side of things that are very upset. The Testors facebook page has blown up with close to 100 negative comments since about 6pm last night.

Testors (RPM Brands) is a P.O.S. company in many peoples eyes right now. I'm sorry but Faskolor won't do the kinds of things you can do with Pactra Laquer and I'm not sold on Spaztik quite yet. I'm pretty much going to have to learn to paint all over again with whatever I choose.

Feel free to flog Testors on your own.....

The train guys have been holding their own but not much comment from the RC painters yet.
