Mamby, I agree with the "local paint supplier" idea, there are alot of things you can do over the internet, however this is one I feel is best to keep local. Here comes the UPS guy & the paint can has a dent that effected the seal a little at the lid (just a little) there is some clear goo hardened in the bottom of the box. What is the goo, what's it do? is a little less in the paint going to hurt anything? Maybe make a claim with UPS & re-order? What if the color isn't what you thought is was or flat out isn't what you ordered. See where I'm going? Lets say your on your second coat & you spill half of the catalyst. Now what? Maybe the local paint store will have something to help you out? The little things you need to finish the job, six pieces of micro fine sandpaper, polishing compound, but also clips, rubber bumpers, 6 of these 12 of those, ect.ect. can be bought if you know there out there. Find a good supply store & spend an hour or two just looking around. Also you may get some knowledge, P- sheets, ect. just asking questions. Now with what Chris is doing (hard parts) alot less to go wrong, sure at times there might be shipping damage, but not near to the extent of liquid & see what I'm getting at: Chris set up this site to help "truck guys" & make a buck, support him for that. The local paint supplier is there when you need them & for the little stuff you may not even knew existed or for knowledge that you need NOW, support them for that. Just my opinion, Lorne
