What does it add up to with shipping? Around here [Fresno Ca] it runs around 3.50 for  1/2oz bottle+tax.

I calculated it once. Shipping's about $10 I think. That's my usual assumption. I believe after 6 bottles it started becoming cheaper than buying local. Add a kit or two on top of that and, well...

Best way to save with online is to place fewer, but huge, orders. 

Personally I try to look at my next 3/4 planned builds, see what paints I need, then order them all at once.

Scale Hobbyist has Model Master for $2.32 a bottle. Cheapest I've seen.

online paint prices
Posted by garylee on Sunday, June 19, 2011 5:55 PM

I've been doing a lot of online shopping lately and so far the best paint prices I can find are at Rider's Hobby Shop. They have Testor's square bottle (1/4 ounce) for $1.38 and Model Master (1/2 ounce) for $2.76 a bottle. Does anyone know of a website that has lower prices?

Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten. Bwahahaha
