Does anyone know of any online retailers that have the Dullcote spray in stock?

All of my usual places are out of stock.

Olaf 0324 Apr 2021 2:36 p.m. PST

Meant to specify, US-based retailers

Michael's sells it. I thought I bought it at Hobby Lobby too.

You can find it on eBay too

I have purchased several cans from Ebay.

Go to Walmart, get Krylon Matt Finish. Works great. Larger can, about the same price.I used to always use dull coat until I found this.Can't tell the difference.

The best ever made was Floquil Spray Flat. Just after I heard it was being discontinued by Testors my Local shop had just received 6 rattle cans that week, and I purchased all of them. While I like Dulcoat it's no comparison to the Floquil product.

Hobby Lobby has a Krylon flat acrylic and it's very flat

I agree with Brain Damaged, small rattle cans about $5 USD-$7 each, much larger cans about $3 USD-$4 for twice as much, no perceptiple difference.

I use the brush on Dullcoat now, after having frosting issues with the spray all too often. I like it much better and the 2 oz bottle outlasts 10 of the rattle cans.

Krylon flat/matte finish from your local hardware store.

Read the labels,,,the acrylic one that says dries in minutes.

Krylon has a "Flat" spray that is far less expensive then Dull Coat.53530 is the number. Available on Amazon, sometimes Walmart.

Dullcote is out of stock every where up here (PNW). I have also ordered from Amazon in the past but recently the prices have jumped. I personally stay away from Krylon, all too often is doesn't give a Matte finish, more of a semi Matte. I have tossed several cans trying out different Krylon. If you are okay with Semi-gloss then yes Krylon is the best price per. Make sure you ventilate as Krylon is way more toxic smelling than Dullcote. I can usually set Dullcote outside for 20 minutes and bring in side, Krylon is 8+ hours. Again this is all just my experience, your mileage may vary.

I forget where I read this, but someone recommended Winsor and Newton Professional Matt varnish and I have had great experiences with it- every bit as good as Dullcote. about 9 USD for a large can – dead flat.

Far and away the flatest stuff I've ever used. I used to be an advocate of Dullcote prior to discovering W & N, but no more. Just try it, i think you'll be very satisfied.
