My only comment is that I recently bought paint for a '90 Ford Ranger. $114/pt. One Hundred Fourteen American Dollars for a PINT of paint! A direct result of environmental activism! Over $200 for one pint of color, one pint of clearcoat, one quart of reducer and a half pint (one cup) of hardener. DIY bodywork is NOT cheap any more... Next time I'll let Maaco repaint the whole thing!
