Anybody know when their website will be back up? Will need to order some paint soon and was wondering if I should start looking somewhere else. I have used their products a lot over last couple of years and have had no issues.

Actually I was going to look next for their number. Just hadn't got to it.

I spoke to the manufacturer (Gillespie) today and Rapco is working to get things up and running. I asked her if they were going out of business and she said no.

Gosh you're old!!
I bet you remember black and white TVs with octagon screens with 3 channels and bag phones?...Oh...and Howdy Doody?
Rocket J. Squirrel and Bowinkle? Clutch Cargo and his friends Spinner and Paddlefoot?
Oh...those were the days my friend!!

Don't worry about the young folks making us look bad Bro...my Grand Daughter can do things on a computer or smart phone that I had no clue even existed...LOL:beer:

Well Papabear you are correct. Although I remember one channel with rabbit ears. The bag phone was awesome, you could hear it great even with back ground noise. Only thing was it looked silly on a belt clip...LOL
And no I don't worry about younger folks making me look bad with computer stuff. My children and grand children take care of me as well. But guess what?? When ever something is broke, its left in front of MY shop door. I just smile!!!

Thanks Tinwoodsman, that's the real answer I was looking for.
I like their product and was hoping they weren't going out of business. I've read a few complaints, however I have not had any issues with it and will continue to use it. Oh yeah an occasional plugged up nozzle, or leaky can. Yeah a gallon can will leak if you turn it over!!!!! So what! The paint is lots better than what you buy at box stores. Plus, I shake mine up in and air shaker so its well shaken.

Spoke with April this morning and she asked me to post Rapco's phone number again. She hopes the website will be up today or tomorrow. She is taking phone orders so if she does not answer, leave her a voicemail and she will return your call as soon as she can. Manual order taking is slowing them down quite a bit.

A BIG thanks to everyone for their patience! I am working with yahoo to resolve this issue, unfortunally it is taking longer than expected. I have gotten the website up, but you cannot pay out yet. Please feel free to click the email link towards the bottom of the page or give us a call. If you get our voice mail please leave a message, I am the only one in the office so I stay pretty busy, I will call back as soon as I can.

Thanks again,

April

Papa bear I`m so old when I was a kid we only had an outhouse, my Mom cooked on a wood stove winter and summer, a wood/coal furnace, hand pump and interior walls in the kitchen/living room only. As we got a bathroom ,bottle gas range, walls in the bedrooms we thought we were living high on the hog! We didn`t know we were poor, we thought everyone live that way. Didn`t hurt us , only made us stronger for when we went out on our own! Heaven forbid things really go bad, lot`s of folks would not survive. :soapbox:

OK RodUSMC1962 and Papabear...you are way older than me...I did have indoor plumbing growing up. Spoiled aren't I? Although we did heat with wood.

Thanks everyone for the update on Rapco!!!
