Over the next few months, Wet Paint will be converting this website to an entirely new look and a platform that we believe you will find much easier to use. It will provide you with benefits & features that we think you will really like.
In the meantime, this means we will not be adding as many new products to the current Online Store, although we will continue to present our current sales here & update our promotional pricing on current products at the Online Store until the new site launches.
If you are not on our email list, be sure to sign up. When our new website launches, you will receive a special email invitation & announcement for the new site. Send us an email request here.
If you use Facebook or Twitter, we encourage you to follow us as a lot of specials will continue to be offered there as well.
We're very excited about this change, and know that you will be, too. We appreciate your patience and promise that this transition will happen as quickly as possible!
