Hey everyone,

My car got whacked a few months back and now its finally time to undo all the damage. Im getting a great deal on the body work and such but need to supply my own materials. I already have DUPONT NISON clear, hardener, and reducer. All that is needed is a quart of 3l2 renaissance red. All the dealers around here cant get it, and the store where I got everything else wants ~150 per quart.

Does that sound reasonable to you guys?

Any ideas as to where to get this stuff for less?

What are some good name brands to be looking for? ( I dont want any cheap junk that will fade/peel/etc)

in-fact, how can a differentiate between a quality brand of color vs a super cheapo? <-- I'm particularly interested in this one

If a quality quart of this stuff really costs $150 then I dont have any qualms with pulling out my wallet.



-please let me know *cough pressure2 cough*
