Just ranting... For years, I used Krylon Satin Rock River grey as base coat for concrete structure. That gray has a nice earth-tone that looks already weathered. I've tried tracking down that color in many local stores but only the gloss version is available (even if the website official chart says otherwise). Since I started painting the concrete pads with the Satin version and ran out of paint, I'm stuck using the gloss coat then applying a matte coat. What a waste of time, material and money. Seriously, I'm getting really tired of wasting my time with worthless stores in my area. It started with the demise of decent hobby stores then the larger stored aren't able to carry a entire line of paint. They never have anything useful on the shelves. Worst, they carry about 90%-to-95% of the Krylon line but dismissed one of the most useful neutral color. hock: Almond is quite near... but I tried and it just doesn't look right.

Another good reason to be creative you'll say. If I didn't have to paint over 12 square feet of concrete gray, I'd airbrushes with a custom mix.
