[Bikeboy]

i want to paint my XS11, i'am a pretty good painter,but need some help. i haven't been in the paint world lately, but man can you believe the price's of paint now. ten years ago i payed $16.00 per gallon for lacquer. today i can't find a good paint, that's base coat an clear coat for less than about $60.00 per pint. thats $60.00 for base coat,$60.00 for clear coat ,$55.00 for primer and $40.00 for reducer. help anyone, help a poor guy out, tell me where i can get some good paint at a fair price. THANKS

Hi Chris Paint @ body repair was my trade before i retired. The prices you quoted are 30 years old in Canada. Try todays prices,150.00 US gal. for base @clear. Some primers are 100.00 A quart. Time and Prices sure do change. bkr
