POLY-TONE 105 INSIGNIA WHITE GALLON

September 23, 2023

Oh the poly tone insignia white is amazing! When I opened the can I knew that I was about to have a truly transcendental painting experience. First, I was surprised that it was truly the insignia white, not the usual flag white from China you usually see. The second thing I noticed was that it was liquid, not the usual brick hard block that paint usually comes in. Also the can has an easy opening top so you don’t need a plasma cutter to open it up. I will admit that it’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for you know. If you’re worried about the price just be glad that poly tone isn’t made by Garmin or Lycoming. I could go on but you get the picture.
