Upon having the same problem as some of you who have spoken with me regards to the discontinuance of the ChromaFlo flow enhancer from 1-Shot as it took a toll on me about a month ago when I was at the bottom of my last can and couldn't find it anywhere. This prompted me to get to the bottom of this dilemma so I made a couple phone calls to friends in the know from my standpoint like Tramp ,Kafka and Jules and one of them gave me the phone number of 1-Shots, Matt FitzGerald who replaced Frank Manning some time back, we discussed only ChromaFlo and although is has been discontinued he got two quarts sent to me. It only took one phone call to go through a few channels until I scored. Along with the two quarts of ChromaFlo came a letter from 1-Shots general manager saying they are prepared to manufacture this product at my request with an eight quart or two gallon minimum with a 3-4 day turnaround. Right now I'm trying to figure out what exactly I should do to put this in motion and maybe you can help.
I'll be doing a store on the net soon offering liquids from one company and am thinking of doing a simular act with the chromaFlo.
Whats your thoughts?

Thanks for calling today Joey. I didn't get to make the phonecall that you suggested yet due to being so busy. Hopefully if enough of us tell 1-Shot/Spraylat that we miss the Chromatic Flow enhancer that they will start to make and distribute it once again. Since my last quart lasted over two years, buying two gallons of it may be a bit much for me. I wonder if this offer extends to suppliers? Maybe one of the Letterhead merchants would buy and resell some. I'd gladly buy a quart. I think I was the only one in this area who bought it from my supplier. And while we're at it, maybe we can put a bug in their ear about the 1-Shot Super Gloss Tinting Clear! That stuff is as rare as hen's teeth. love....jill

Joey you are the man! You can be the distribution dude for us. As good as this stuff is I have no doubt that you'll move it. I say a big "thanks" is in order to 1-Shot for indulging in this order.

Rick, it wasn't cost effective for me plus I haven't been feeling very well all this time Another person seemed to think which was frightening to begin with that my idea in the website was up for grabs as to its design and simple ordering technique and that it would have to be their way, so I scrapped it altogether. Its not easy when others start criticizing simple things when they themselves land in a position due to family rather than merit. I blame know one but myself and find that my expertise lies in what I do rather then a sales point. It was really a shame because all to what would have been offered was to come from one site. I've been known to speak up on products which I feel are good for this craft no matter what my circumstances are in relation to the persons who are in charge of them and from time to time have made mistakes as all of us had at one point or another. Rather then pointing fingers at specifics , I find that putting things to rest on my part is much simpler and easier then trying to educate and also why I find that light travels faster than sound and thats why people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Joey, Should you choose to just get a small batch and not move this into an opportunity for business, there are a few of us that would welcome the opportunity to participate and make your end of the operation as simple as possible.
Perhaps you might just break it down into small cans and drive around and deliver them to us, and we could re pay you with food and stories and places to stay, as well as money?
Have fun in the hot country.
