This company is NOT Canadian. They are Chinese. The website is full of typical translation mistakes. The promo video is also full of mistakes. The prices are in US dollars. Shipping makes no sense. Only other place to find this paint is on Alibaba. They are not listed in any Canadian business directory.

I may be mistaken but according my investigation and thoughts of Chinese art youtube I'm going to believe that this Rockwell brand has tight relationship with Chinese CAAM SuperVision brand. Some of their colours are look like plus they sell paint in a plastic pallette, it is a very common thing for paints from AliExpress. Also, I saw a comment about one of their colour: "The use of PB17 is usually indicative of a Chinese white label product."

The lightfastness ratings are not meant for everyday environments, only for museum conditions.

I bought these September 2021 and did a window light-fast test. Just took them down a couple weeks at 8 months in and the opal yellow and diamond yellow faded and changed colors drastically!! The yellow almost completely gone. Contacted them and basically said you should have read the fine print about the lightfastness. Of course colors won't fade under UV glass and indoors with no natural light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-67107377950999683862022-08-24T17:18:27.053-07:002022-08-24T17:18:27.053-07:00What I'm bummed out about is how unavailable i...What I'm bummed out about is how unavailable it is for fellow Canadian residents.
