The adhesion promoter, primer, and clear coat also in spray cans were approximately $7, $7, and $10. > Its all better quality stuff then I probably could have purchased at Pep Boys or Advance Auto. The clear especially surprised me. Much better than other rattle can clears I have used. The use the normal basecoat and reducer and put it in a can so its really the same stuff I would shoot from a paint gun. I just reread your OP and saw you got it from Schenectady AB, they are good shit, now i get it. Also the clear did come out damn good, def not some duplicolor jump off, I will have to look into that stuff for tiny projects where its a pain in the ass to load a gun with clear. :thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/diy-budget-paint-matching-lots-of-pics/257685)._
