Ready for Spring – but where’s the oil-based paint?

I”m ready for spring to be here! Though, I do still need to paint my hive bodies and make my screened bottom boards and top covers.

For some reason, though, I’m having a hard time finding oil-based exterior paints to use on my hive bodies. I’ve checked at Lowes (always check their “Oops” paint shelf) – and didn’t see any.. so I checked their shelf for regular oil-based paints… and couldn’t find any!! Has oil-based paint gone the way of the dinosaur? Has it become legislated off of the shelves? Maybe I need to peruse a different store.

I’ve got 10 Deeps, 15 Mediums, and 15 swarm-traps to paint.
