You know people still insist on a color match to repaint their old "rancid Pepto-Bismal pink" Trek (all SR, columbus tubed, 770?) !?

The paint distributor had to mix 5 quarts to get the mix right. Charged me plenty for the first quart (the 1 that I ordered) and told me to get the other gallon out of there before anybody saw it.

So if any of you folks that are REALLY secure in your masculinity want to get your manly-man truck re-sprayed I've got just the thing for you........
