Online petition for TESTOR'S to continue production of Floquil and Polly Scale
Posted by Schuylkill and Susquehanna on Monday, May 27, 2013 10:19 AM

Post here to say that you want Testor's to continue production of their Floquil and Polly Scale model railroading lines of paint.

Post with your name and if you like, 10-20 words about you.  The idea is to give Testor's an idea of the wide customer base that buys Floquil and Polly Scale paints.  Post on this thread only once.  The topic of this thread is a petition.

If you wish to comment on this thread, PLEASE post on the comment thread.  Here's the link:

P.S.  After a few days, I will e-mail Testor's with a link to this page.

Student modeler.  I use Floquil and Polly Scale paints for everything, including weathering and painting locos and rolling stock.

Paul Tenney, Culpeper, VA.  I have used Floquil paints for over forty years and they are still my first choice. 

If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

I use Pollyscale for rolling stock kits, structures & detail work. I build most of my rolling stock from kits & really need these paints!

  I have been a long time user of Floquil products.

PS - I think sending emails to Testors or RPM(parent company) would make more sense.  Here is the contact info:

Floquil has been my primary model RR paint for more than 30 years; my second favorite is Model Master. I do not know what I will do if they cease production

I have used Floquil paints for close to 50 years on many projects, not just model railroad projects.  I find them to be the perfect products for the modeling hobbies.  I also use Poly Scale and love it, please keep these products available!

Used Polly S for years. I, as do others, use it for everything that needs paint (weathering, rolling stock, buildings, figures, etc).
