According to the LHS, Floquil will soon become unavailable due to its supposed status as a "dangerous chemical" and the import regulations on such.

I've been hearing that for YEARS. I've also heard for years that certain types of auto paints will no longer be available, yet I can still buy them. Remember Kodachrome film? I think rumors started circulating back in the 1980s that Kodak was going to discontinue it because the developing process was toxic, but I think it wasn't until digital cameras took over the market that it finally left the shelves. Floquil and lacquer-based paints probably will be discontinued some day, not because of regulations, but because nobody buys it any more. I still prefer the petroleum-based paints, but most everyone else I talk to prefers the acrylic with its low odor and soap/water clean up. Even house paint is almost exclusively acrylic now. In fact, I don't know if HD even carries many petroleum based paints or stains anymore. Again, most people I talk to HATE the old paints because they stink, do not clean up as easy, and take longer to dry.
