Try Hobbywave and Red Frog Hobbies

Another vote for Hobbywave.  They typically maintain excellent stock levels, and have the most reasonable shipping price/policy I've ever seen for paint bottles.  You pay a flat rate for a box of up to 50 bottles (IIRC it's $12), so as long as you're buying a fair amount it's a great deal.  Not so much a deal if you only want a bottle or two, but for that I use good old ebay.  Tons of Gunze suppliers there that are willing to deal with just a bottle or two.

The only drawback to Hobbywave is that they ONLY deal in Gunze.  They've got it all, including the really esoteric (and expensive) specialty prismatic / metallic Mr Color paints, but you can't add any Vallejo or Tamiya to your order while you're there.

A member of our IPMS chapter orders regularly from a company in Hong Kong.  No problems, good prices, low shipping charges.

Contact Eric at info@sealmodel.com for more info.  Delivery takes a month or two, though, as these products cannot be shipped by air.  It will come via a "Slow Boat from China."

I have a bookmark for an online store in California on my home computer. I can get back to you. I'd suggest searching th Community for Gunze, but the search sucks now. Off the top of my head I know Luckymodel has it instock, but be watchful of the shipping chargers for overseas.

Edit: Burbank's house of hobbies has 1200 in the jar in stock.
