Yes, Daniel Smith has enough of it to keep going for a while, but when
what they've got is gone, it's gone. Here's my information, from
http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterfs.html
the best online source of information about pigments:
ALERT: The last manufacturer of PO49 ceased production in 2001 (there
was insufficient
demand for it from automobile manufacturers), and once
current stockpiles have been depleted
there will be no more paints made with this pigment.
Daniel Smith informs me that they have
stockpiled enough pigment to sustain their paint
production "for another 10 or 15 years," though
other manufacturers are probably not as well
provisioned.
