Members yoji Posted December 2, 2014 Members Report Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Amazing update after a very long time of searching for the right product. I will be in France late December and will be buying some edge paint from mando in paris. (i have explained on my other topic that their edge paint is used by LV\ goyard and some Hermes products according to mando.) Today i got a call from a contact, finally my search ends here! He will be able to source me the exact edge paint used by Hermes (specificly on belts and watch straps where heavier rubbing resistance and durability needed). He told me that this is pretty heavy viscosity product, dries pretty fast and covers amazingly. I will be flying there Thursday to buy some supply for my self and test some other products. The product is more expensive than what mando sells. Mando price is 18 euro + taxes for 1 litre. And the Stahl paint (produced specially for hermes) is 26 euro + taxes for 500ml. From what my contact explains, this is way more concentrated than fenice, berraud and supra c vernish 600 products and requires less coats. So even though the cost of the product is higher, it will be cheaper to use it since less product is needed to achieve the result. If anyone wants some product i will be willing to send you while i am there, Currently they have only the basic 14 pantone colors. They do custom colors but it takes some time and i will be there only for couple of days. If you are interested i can forward it to you guys: 30.68 euro cost of the paint 1.5 euro for the bottle seal shipping and handling - will be added based on your shipping preference. Let me know if you are interested. cheers Edited December 2, 2014 by yoji Quote

Members yoji Posted December 2, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 2, 2014 sure. just keep in mind that they are not working on weekends. Quote
Members thefanninator Posted December 3, 2014 Members Report Posted December 3, 2014 I've been using Fenice and it looks pretty nice but takes way too many coats. Interested to see how the Stahl and others finish up. Are you from the US? Would you ship this back or fly it back? Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/
Members yoji Posted December 3, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 3, 2014 thefanninator: when i first ordered the fenice edge paint plus (the thicker viscosity) from cambpell i was sure that it was going to satisfy my needs but as you have indicated i found that it takes too many coats to get the desired effect. I don't even want to think how the non "plus" version is. However i find that the fenice product is great quality wise, but it was not what i needed. sometimes i have larger orderes and i don't have the time to play around with 5-6 coats of paint. Even though i fabricated (DIY) a drying oven it still takes too many time. If this product is going to be like my contact indicated so this will be a great timesaver no, I am not from the US, it should be clear from my english. LOL I will be flying back with the products, but for those who are interested to get some i will be sending them from there. Frankly i was sure that there will be way more interest on it since there are a lot of interest on it from what i see. looks like folks are pretty satisfied with the fenice results.. maybe we are not the smart ones here Quote
Members yoji Posted December 5, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 5, 2014 some stahl edge paint additives and 4 liters of concentrated edge paint juice used by hermes. by stahl!! made a quick test and i can definitely say that it is an amazing product!! just payed for it 300 euros + taxes. amazingly concentrated. probably if diluted with water, one can get around 10 liters of fenice like consistency product. i will be ordering a bit more. so last call, if anybody wants it, it is the time. i will not have time to deal with it after Tuesday.. cheers Quote
Members thefanninator Posted December 5, 2014 Members Report Posted December 5, 2014 What's the smallest amount I can order? Are you willing to divide some up into a smaller container? Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/
Members yoji Posted December 6, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) the products on the picture are mine tuesday i will be ordering one more batch of products for the who ever contacted me through PM. 500ml is the smallest that i can go right now since i didn't bring with me other sizes of empty bottles (and i can not go and search for HDPA bottles ) Edited December 6, 2014 by yoji Quote
Members thefanninator Posted December 29, 2014 Members Report Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I received my package today. Thanks Yogi! This edge paint is much thicker than Fenice. I'll post up a photo in the next day or two. Edited December 29, 2014 by thefanninator Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/
