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!
