Plywood paint recommendations
JeffCarter replied to Eric from Conroe's topic in Plywood/Coro Cutouts
I use the Behr paint sample size paint from Home Depot. You can get them in any color they offer and if you run out, you can get it matched. The 8 oz size is perfect for amount for most cut out projects. You can get it in their exterior grade and any of the finishes they offer. Keep in mind you want to keep the finish "flat" or "egg shell." Any glossy finish will give you a hot spot when you hit it with a flood light. I also seal mine with a Spar Urethane. If you need anymore ideas check out my website: http://www.christmascraftsman.com/ -

They should have gone mail order or at least offered that option. I would make their molds available to those who would like them but don't have a local retail option.
