Good paint is expensive anywhere you go.

Trouble is you don't know anything about AGCO's paint or who is making it for them. It may be made in China but they are charging like its made by Dupont.
If you go to the automotive paint store you will know what you are buying and know the quality you are paying for. Just my 2 cents worth.

solvents and addatives in the paint are regulated by EPA, etc.. as DS said, the more good stuff you get in the paint, the more $$ it cost.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Actually it's better in many ways than automotive paint. It's always the same shade unlike auto paint that's at the mercy of who is mixing it the day you buy it. It's easy to use and lasts a long time. I agree it's pricey, I just paid $78 for a quart of PO1 and $82 for a quart of PO2 from my local dealer. Go to Farm & Fleet if you want cheap paint, you'll get what you pay for.
