See if you can find out who the manufacturer is of Eastwood's paint. Surely they don't make their own, but repackage it from someone else. Is there not a local auto paint store you can buy your products from? Sometimes it's good to have local support. And you don't have to wait for shipping.

I used it on my truck and liked it a lot more than the single stage paint I bought from Summit. I also used the single stage clear that they recommended to be sprayed directly onto the single stage red. I haven't buffed out all of the issues yet, but so far, I'm quite happy with it. Get onto Eastwood's mailing list as they put everything on sale quite often or offer free shipping. I think I got mine on sale with free shipping (if I remember correctly). I think it resulted in about a 25% savings.

X2 on using a local paint supplier....it's good to have some support when you have a question.

When you're in the middle of painting something and it looks like you're about to run out, it's nice to be able to have that local supplier to run and get more of the same stuff. Dupont, PPG, and others all have an economy line of product, Duponts is Nason as stated above. Eastwood is likely repackaging someone's economy line and pricing it just below other's premium stuff, as that's what most people will gauge it against. Go to a local source and use the economy line, if your budget dictates. If Eastwood sells it (most anything), you can normally find it cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks, it's coming along. I spent my Christmas vacation on a 10 day cruise, so nothing has been done lately. State Farm is after me to get it on the road, but I suspect it won't be ready until the F100 Nationals.
