    I have never bought from AJP, so I can't comment on them.

    16 gallons so far from Rapco. Buy 4 at a time because of HAZMAT fees and a 4 gallon guy discount. Get a case of spray cans too. You will use them more than you can imagine. Mark and the ladies at Rapco are good people. They even let my family, Wart Hog, his wife and myself wander around their shop for a few hours last summer.

    My experience with them at shows was not good. Lots of attitude.

    I'll let you in on a little secret. A couple of years ago when I was just opening my business I had a brain cramp that I would offer some MV stuff as a "side" business and I called the manufacture of Gillispie to see if I could become a vendor. I was told by them that Mark at Rapco is the only distribitor of their paint and that I would have to talk to them about being a vendor. I did talk to Mark and was told that AJP is the only other vendor he is going to allow to sell the paint. It seems to me that unless your trying to save on shipping cause you live up here in the rust belt that it makes more sense to order from Rapco than from AJP.

    I drive to their store in Bristol, PA and have had no problems whatsoever with them. I have to go there within the next month or so and pick up a few more gallons of their Gillespie paint. Just my two cents...
