New Old Stock
JET GLOW is famous for it's SUPER HIGH-GLOSS, "WET LOOK." It was/is formulated for aircraft and has been the "premium" aerospace coating for more than 20 years. Likewise, it's long been the OEM paint of choice for many major aircraft manufacturers and that remains the case, today. The current, polyurethane formulation is a product of the Sherwin Williams Company, who markets a complete line of coatings for general aviation aircraft and beyond.
Whether Jet Glow, Imron, PPG, or, Sherman Williams, aircraft paints/coatings currently sell for $600 to $800 per gallon, depending on the color, reds being the most expensive, averaging $700+ per gallon.
I have several gallons -- various colors -- of Jet Glow paint up for auction. The paint is old, OEM stock, from Piper Aircraft's Inventory (Aerostar models). It's been stored for twenty years, but when the pigment (which may have settled to the bottom in some colors) is well-churned, followed by a thorough mixing, shaking and straining (through a paint net), it's good to go and sprays beautifully. I've tested several colors from the inventory and have had no bad results. It dries nicely without a hardener, though, one can be used if so desired.
For those of you who don't have a commercial paint shaker, try Home Depot. Two separate stores, in my area, were more than happy to shake 'em up for me; as many as 15 cans, on one visit. Churn the pigment before taking the can(s) for shaking. Some of the colors I'm auctioning only require light churning, while other colors require a little more loosening-up. A painter's hand drill mixing tool works well. Be assured, though, that it's all "good paint."
The paraphernalia in the photo is intended as a means of calibrating the color hue. The crayon (color comps) is from the 24 count box of Crayola brand Crayons (see picture of box, below).
Paint comes in original boxes and cans have not been opened, except for one can of each color, in order to take pictures for my paint auctions. As you can see in the photo, I got a bit of paint over the rim, while mixing.
Cans are dented, but otherwise are fine. Top seal is AOK.
