steep price on paint

[D'oh]

I recall painting my Bro I Law's 1970 Chevrolet C10 with 8N Ford Red Enamel. Forget the pricing (35 years ago) but working at the Ford New Holland Dealership, we only paid 10% over cost.

Automotive Paint went through the roof because of the Environment. Waterborn was a Big Jump in pricing.

eBay has it for ~$20. "close enuff" spray at TSC or Menard's for $10. If you want "perfect" match, expect to pay more. Amazon is certainly not always the cheapest, also.

They sell the paint at kioti dealer for alot less than $56

Atleast it was a few years ago when i bought some. It was high $20s

A couple of years ago, I paid $14 for 12 oz can of Kubota Orange
I bet it’s at least $20 now
Retail companies were quick to jack up prices during the COVID period, and never intended to scale them back after the fact
