I had to check all the responses before I replied. I am a retired auto body shop owner,and heard about this paint. What makes this paint so expensive and a pain in the ASS to get is the green tint in the paint is the same ink used to make Money!

There was a mustang that color in a body shop that color getting fixed. The jobber that mixed the paint said it was a pain in the ass to mix the paint.

The shop had to know exactly how much of the base coat needed to cover the area to be painted. When they got the green tint it came from the US Treasury Department and the Agent was there when they mixed it. Any left over tint was taken back with him! I heard the paint was an absolute Bitch to match!

—” the green tint in the paint is the same ink used to make Money!”

A wayward friend was a graphic artist for a megacorp.
When bored they would run $5 bills through the copy machine then hand color some key parts and cash them in the change machine to verify their work.
