| 06.12.2007 Dear Customers and Friends, After a long pause here some news on JPS-Colors. There have come a lot of new paints in the last days including a variety of waterbased metal-polishing paints. These polishing paints are equivalent to known metal colors of other manufacturers, but based on acrylics and can be covered with the JPS-Colot clear varnishes for protection. They come in the colors: Titan, Jet Exhaust, Rostfreier Stahl, Flugzeug Aluminium, Duraluminium, Matt Aluminium, Dunkles Aluminium, Aluminium, Weißaluminium, Magnesium, Stahl & erhitztes Metall. Also available are now some more of the russian colors and the F-15 Interior Green. The most importent change will be in the Classic Paints sector. These paints came in 20ml mugs. As soon as the left over stock is sold, they will come also in the new 30ml bottles and we will have the item-no. added to the New Paints list. The quality and color tones will not change, except for RLM 77 which was erased from the list completly. On our shoppages the Classic Colors will get less and vanish finally, so we can list them in only one list then. If you are looking for a special Classic paint and can't find it any more, take a look in the other list of JPS-Colors. The Classic paints will be sold off on the known price as long as available! |

| 07.09.2007 Dear Customers and Friends, as announced before, we were forced to make some chnges at the JPS-Color paint section, because the product range will change and the Classic paints will be available in 30ml bottles then. Because many of the Classic paints still haven't been ordered at all and therefore weren't in stock, we erased them from the shop temporarily. The rest of the range was cut to the available, in stock, items. Because JPS has a wide range of colors and relativly long reorder times, we have been forced to this by facts. If your are looking for special colors, which are not in stockany more, send JPS-Color or us an e-mail to get information on it. So JPS-Color has almost 1000 colors in its range, it is impossible for us to keep all of them in stock, all the time. We ask your understanding for this. For fans of Reheat figures, resin conversion kits and etched accessoirs our webshop may be recommended. Here you will find a variety of rare items from Reheat. Check it out! You get there by clicking the link  directly. |

It is planned to deliver the Classic Paints, which are sold in 20ml cans now, in 30ml bottles as soon as possible. This will lead to a equal price on most 30ml bottles and make things easier for us too. This does not mean a change in colors at all! Because some paints of the RLM chart in the Classic range vary from the new paints, we will have some changes in item-no. probably. We will inform you on this at given time! As soon as in stock paints are sold and have to be reproduced, we will automatically change the package to 30ml bottles. This means that the colors will be flipped to the New Colors list in our webshop! We recommend to take a look at both sections in the webshop when looking for the right color!! We will deliver new 30ml bottles of the Classic paint automatically, in case the 20ml cans are sold out. You will get an changed invoice on your order then automatically, if you have ordered by webshop. We ask for your understanding for this. |
