Whatever happened to PlastiKote paint?

DrEamer said

OK, I had to go to the source on this one. I emailed PlastiKote, and received the following reply. So now we have an answer.
Thank you for contacting Valspar. We appreciate your inquiry.
Unfortunately this product has been discontinued. You may have luck finding any remaining stock on Amazon.com. We suggest looking into Duplicolor or VHT for similar products.

I agree. Need to go with something else. Can't find 226 any where. Frustrating that such a good brand was discontinued and all the workers in Medina OH lost their jobs.
98 to lose jobs when Plasti-Kote in Medina closes in April
I suspect it has to do with Sherwin Williams buying Valspar in 2017 and discontinuing quality paint in favor of higher profit margins.
Duplicolor has been poor quality for me. How did it work for you?
