- I believe the TS- color is Tamiya Spray color. Here in the U.S. I have
- never seen any of this range for sale. I heard that importing compressed
- air spray cans is difficult and expensive. A local hobby shop in California
- once had a rack of authentic race car colors from "Modelers" (I think?).
- Each can was selling for US$9.00! Typical prices are about US$2.49 retail.
- Interestingly this store had them just before California voters decided to
- ban all canned spray paints that didn't meet air quality standards.
- Fortunately the ban has been lifted for now.
