    Is it just me or do most spraypaint companies not even make flat colors. I've been looking for flat yellow and a cheap flat black, can't find either of them. Where do you guys get flat colors at?

    We still have a Kmart here. Most closed due to huge losses in selling their spray bomb paint to cheap. :bananaman

    We just bought some flattening agent . It's PPG brand and only came in a quart can. $20.00 a can. Believe me, it's cheaper to get it in spray bombs if you can. Our local Walmart always has Krylon flat black in stock. The semi-flat is never in stock. It must be the most popular color around.

    For flat colors try a craft store like Michaels, Franks or something similar. They have shades that you wouldn't even think of, even some with glitter. Imagine the possibilities!
