Is it really worth being that frugal? Only you can give the right answer to that question.
Or you could flip that argument on its head, and wonder why some brands of paint are SO MUCH more expensive. (Maybe because the cost is often passed on through the body shops and insurance companies to consumers who know no better.) I would think that paint engineered for Tractor/farm fleet use would need to stand up to the most harsh out door conditions, and be more expensive. The fact is that most our model A's are pampered pets, and will almost never see harsh conditions. I know my F-150 lives outside so my model A doesn't have to!
