Two days later I received the color chart in the mail along with a hand written note from George Kirby Junior thanking me for my inquiry and that he hoped we could do business in the future. You don't get personal service like that very often anymore, so I thought I'd give it a try. It didn't hurt that their shop is in New Bedford, MA which is just a few hours away and shipping usually only takes a day.
I won't go into the details of painting because it's about as much fun as watching paint dry, but I will say that I really liked the flow and coverage characteristics of the Kirby paint much better than some other paints I have tried and it smelled very different, more like turpentine or something old time-y, rather than made in a giant factory somewhere. We'll see how it holds up, but so far so good.
