I bought the TCPGlobal paint because is is $140 a gallon instead of $450 a gallon. Didn't buy PPG primer either. I went with Southern Polyurethane primers. Went with Kirker black. Didn't think it prudent to make mistakes with $450 a gallon paint.

I also found out about the demand for Model As as that age group is now in their 80s and 90s. Not a lot of demand and I waited almost 3 months before I got a call after advertising on ebay, craigslist, and hemmings. And my 29 roadster was a bargain. No other ones out there with a fresh restoration for $18k. This will sure temper my offers on other cars where the liking crowd is getting pretty old. I'd say 50s and early 60s cars and older are having a decrease in demand due to deaths. Don't see many cars older than 1955 on any of the auctions.
