I ordered a 1 oz bottle. Should arrive within a week. I'll let you know if the color checks out. I agree paint quality is important, but why put a show quality paint job on a car that is worth at most $6-8K? I have found that for the Sonett, the condition of the fiberglass is the limiting factor. I restored a True Blue 74 in 1983. Removed all of the trim. Did all the fiberglass and prep work myself. Paid $250.00 for a mask and spray at a small auto paint shop. For that price I got three coats of baked on alkyd enamel (including the door jambs and black matte on the hood bulge, rear, and rockers) and the car looked great. Of course it would cost a lot more today. Sweat equity is the way to go - its easier on the wallet and much more satifying.
