I agree, it's over-priced. The MAE costs seem to be way out of line. But so is the cost of Delstar, at least nowadays. Butch had a source for orange DAR at $165/gal. It is an excellent paint but it has priced itself right out of the market considering the lower cost alternatives. No wonder I can't find a PPG jobber within a hundred miles of me that stocks the mix tints for it. I was surprised to not find the OMNI MTK on the site. When I last bought some two years ago at a local jobber, I paid $51.50 for a gal (orange cost class), $25.51 for a qt of MH168 slow hardener and $15.78 for a gal of MR186 med reducer. That's walk-in, off-the-street prices - no special discount. At a mix ratio of 4:1:1 color:reducer:hardener, that calculates out to $54 per RTS gal if you take a credit for the 3 qts of leftover reducer. I am sure it is somewhat more today but it still provides a very good value for a reasonable price. I have used quite a bit of Delstar in years past and liked it a lot. Is it so great that it is worth three times the cost of the MTK? No. Not in my opinion. However, the site is a source for anyone who can't get it in their local area and wishes to pay the price.  Rod

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
