Had to go to the store (with mask on!), thought I would breeze by the crafts aisle and pick up some painting supplies – no, sir! It looked like the toilet paper aisle used to look! I could have any color I wanted, as long as I wanted Nutmeg in the large bottle! |

All those kids have been home for weeks. I'm sure a lot of parents suddenly added a crafting section to their teaching tool kits. |

Same at the Walmart here. It was going to be my fallback for paint but I will need a plan B. |

Same here at Walmart besides that the craft store is closed until this thing is over. |

Sad. The system is breaking down. |

Time to model some scenery. |

I've had to order my paints from a local arts & crafts store online for delivery, perhaps that is an option? Some stores in my area also do pre-ordered pick-ups. |

Give it a week or so--as though we had a choice. It took a little while for the grocery sections to meet the upsurge in demand, but they did. I bet the crafts section will be restocked faster than my governor lets the hobby shops reopen. |

Try the dollar stores. Not much selection, you may get lucky. |

Yeah, what is the sense that you can buy craft stuff at Walmart but Michael's and Hobby Lobby are closed? But I doubt that our governor (VA) is going to loosen his grip on power any time soon. |

Home Depot has a full compliment of paints including the very dull camo paints in black, forest green and tan. |

Heh, heh, heh, well guess that's one of the perks living in a area known for all the seniors living here. |

Whoops, I thought Bill was exaggerating about the dearth of acrylics at the local Wally World…he wasn't. Although I did see a nice variety of puke green…in large bottles. I just went there yesterday when the spousal unit decided to violate the shut-down. |

I'm looking for Gloss Coat paint sealer. |
