We have many other colors that will be on the web shortly, just haven't put them on yet, super durable mirror red, some new crinkles, and about 60 different bass boat colors from hexagon to square flakes. These are also available in hologram, flip flop, and just about every color you can think of.

Any chance you guys have plans now, or maybe in the future to make the sample swatches available (like NIC has)? I know the Q-panels are sent upon request, but they have got to be expensive and time consuming for you to produce. The little 1"x3" aluminum swatches should be cheap to make in quantity. I'm pretty sure they shoot a large sheet and then just cut them up to make the swatches. Conceivably making them 100's or 1000's at a time of any color.

Ditto on that. I see that EW has a a 92 color sample card for sale. Not that you guys should copy - you would do it better!
I finally got the color chart from EW and it's very similar to the one NIC has. It's pretty nice, and I like being able to see all the colors on the 2-page chart, but I prefer the q-panels that PBTP has.
Even though q-panels aren't quite as convenient, they are larger and easier to judge how the color will actually look when placed next to an actual part for comparison. I also like being able to let a customer take 2 or 3 panels to find his best match. Besides, PBTP would need a 50 page catalog to list all their colors! Just like NIC, they would pick and choose the most popular to put in the catalog and they would still have tons of colors that weren't included. Also hard to update a catalog every time they add a new color or one is discontinued.
Right now, I use loose-leaf binders with clear plastic business card pages to hold all my sample panels. The q-panels are the exact size of a business card so they fit perfectly in the sleeves. I group similar colors to a page so I can pull one if a guy is looking for blue, another for red, ect., etc. Makes it very handy to have visible samples at shows and stuff too. Customers like looking at the panels much better than a catalog page. I think the colors are more accurate too.

No, and I'm beginning to wonder if you actually even sent it!
Kidding. I have no idea why it is taking so long. I even got an order from EW that was placed days after you sent the brochure. It showed up yesterday, but still nothing in the mail.
I heard on the news this morning that a postal worker somewhere in the local area was charged with disposing of over 4 TONS of mail! Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night, my A$$! I'll keep checking.
