Default Duplicolor Pontiac Metallic Blue Deal

I know everyone has their favorite brand of engine paint, I've had a pretty good experience with Duplicolor. Amazon has a heck of a deal on 6 packs of 66-70 Pontiac Metallic Blue (DE1616) right now - $13!

Regular Pontiac Blue is $40 for 6 so this must be some kind of a pricing mix up.

Got my case today so I'm stocked up for a while.

That's Amazon's pricing algorithms for you...interest/clicks and the price goes up. Happened when I was looking at a pc deal. Next day...$70 hike.

I get it sent to my local auto parts store for $7.69 a can.
I prefer PC 227 but it too is getting harder to get.

I buy mine from Eastwood. Of course I live 15 miles from their warehouse so I save the shipping.

Yeah, looks like it's sold out now. Keep an eye on it, maybe the deal will come back.

Just ordered mine for $13.26! I see Duplicolor has a new can label and these are the "old" labels. Probably why they are discounting what they have of the old

Default It might be a California-only deal.

Sometimes they put stuff on sale in certain areas only.

Like an overstock from the local warehouse only.

I'd like to get some, too, but it ain't showing up for me.....

I used the link the OP (Verdoro 68) posted. When I bought mine, it said there were only 3 cases left prior to me adding one case to my shopping cart. I see lust4speed bought two cases about the same time I did. I'm guessing they're all sold now
