Made a delivery to a mobile painter today. He repaired a quater panel on a late model red honda civic. He normally mixes his standox tint system for spot repairs but he didn't have enough tint to make up the 8 oz. before reducing he needed for this shoot. I was shocked when he showed me the invoice from a PPG jobber for this solid red DBC color: $102.00 with tax!! For only 8 oz.!! Another customer I mentioned this to said that he has paid more than that for similar colors for even less material. I've been out of the collision game for a while. I just paint a few times a year, but I can't believe how expensive basecoat got. Barry, I know you have talked about doing a basecoat line again if the circumstances were right. I'd say the market is ready when you are!!!
