I think in all it was 24 cans of paint. Not sure about the primer I didn't really keep track.

I see that Autobody Tool Mart sells the paint for $91.99 and you buy the quart of activator for $24.99. Total = $117.00.

Not much difference from $120...I think on my initial Eastwood order I had a 10% off coupon. Saved roughly $12.00 on the first order... [/QUOTE]

Is the Eastwood a full gallon? Its also running $135.00 paint and activator now.

The Eastwood paint is 96 ounces and mixed 3-1 resulting in 1 gallon of spray-able material
The Kirker Paint from Autobody Tool Mart is a full gallon 128 ounces and mixed 4-1 resulting in 160 spray-able ounces so yes the Kirker from Autobody Tool Mart is a better deal.

Summit is also a 4-1 mix resulting in 5 quarts or 160 OZ.

You might try tractor paint it is enamel, put a little paint hardener and they hold up good. there are several colors if you look at the older tractors and it is inexpensive . Greg
