Clear Coat Paints

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Yeah, paint is effing expensive. Must be all sorts of government regulations 
about it cause it's just way more expensive than it used to be.
Forget the online stores. From the price comparisons I've done in the past 
they're even more expensive.
All I can suggest is trying different brands. I've always used Dupont, but 
haven't elevated to the expensive base coat, clear coat systems so don't 
know whether they're a screwing also.
GL!
