Eastwood Paint

Has anyone ever used paint from Eastwood? What are your thoughts on it?

Re: Eastwood Paint

I've used several different colors/types of their paint. It is a bit pricey, especially with shipping. But it is a good quality paint that matches the original equipment colors. So, I would have to say it's pretty good stuff.

Re: Eastwood Paint

I used the extreme chassis black chassis paint on my axles and suspension, it is a great product.. Hardens hard as a rock and looks great too...

Re: Eastwood Paint

I was at Englishtown (NJ) for the Spring Swap Meet in April and bought 2 cans of Argent Silver - Stock Ralley Wheel Paint from the Eastwood Vendor. Although a little pricey, $10.50 a can but with the proper prep, it's great paint.

Re: Eastwood Paint

all eastwood paint and products is just rebranded from other manuractures if it can be bought from eastwood it can be purchased elsewhere usally for quite a bit less//all you need to do is research // lots of things that eastwood sells are available at local suppliers cheaper with no shipping handeling costs involved

Re: Eastwood Paint

I used chassis black on some suspension.It seems to be holding up well.I do know it is the best spraying canned paint I have ever used.The spray pattern and fan are so much better than any of the others I've tried.It is pricey but i got this on a deal.I split a case with another member who found a damaged case at a swap.We paid about $40.00 for 11 cans.

Re: Eastwood Paint

I was looking at their epoxy primer, urethane primer, and top coat. It seemed cheaper than the paint supply store I went to around here.

Yes, that included shipping and handling. I think it was around 300 or 350.

Re: Eastwood Paint

I have used their products on several occations and LOVE THEM. I do not have the time to research to find the actual maker so their prices IMO are totally acceptable for the convienence, easy orders and FAST shipping times, and resonable prices on the shipping.
