[AT] paint question

[Cecil R Bearden]

I have used the Tractor supply paint for trucks and trailers.  It is 
Valspar paint, if you use the hardener, It is the same as the $200/gal 
House of Color paint.. I always use the hardener.  Also it is only 
$35/gal w/ the hardener.  The hardener prevents fading....
