Testors Dullcote and Duplicolor

Hey, I've heard a lot of recommendations for Testors Dullcote and Duplicolor primer.

I drove around for like 2 hours to various places. None had Testors Dullcote.
I went to 2 Walmarts, but the Duplicolor grey sandable primer was sold out.

Where else can I get these 2 products?
Thanks in advance.

You can get Dupli-color primer at most Walmarts (in the auto section) and at many auto chain supply stores.

As for Testors Dullcote, try calling around to your local hobby shops.

That's not good. Is there some sort of mask I should be wearing, because it's kind of windy here. I would think that's not very good for spraying since the wind would make the paint fly everywhere.

You can pick up a mask at your local paint store...If you get the paper type...wet it before using...and hold your breath....

I'll pass out if I hold my breath for too long. lol. jk

But since we're on the topic of safety, do you recommend getting on of the more expensive masks or will the paper type do?

And should I replace the mask after a while?

thanks

It don't take that long to spray...sans wind...The masks are cheap...I don't use them as I can hold my breath for as long as it takes...30-40 seconds...
