$1800 for the paint ? Is that what its cost you ? OMG.

If you really want to go into cardiac arrest, look at Dupont or House of Kolors cost. easily double if not close to triple that. Materials are not cheap like most assume.

I am, for that price i could shoot my car from start to finish in HOK.

I know when i was last over i went into a PPG distributors with Jeff and was gobsmacked at the prices, i f only there was a way of shipping it across cheaply................ we have a huge choice of paint here in the Uk and many painting systems.

Doug, sorry to hear about the family stuff, i hope it resolves itself.
