I agree with Ken.  Its funny how SW seems to have the biggest increases, and also the most selection of traffic paint that doesnt work for one reason or another.  ICI>Glidden AKA Aexcell has done just fine, and they have been more than fair with their price.  Their reps also care...

I will not buy anymore SW until they do two things..... lower their prices and improve their product.   I am out many thousands of dollars in warranty where SW paint didn't stick.  No problems with Glidden, Aexcell, Standard or Ennis so it wasn't anything we were doing wrong.

Try regular red alkyd at $ 165 per 5 gallons.  I get chlorinated red Ennis or Aexell at a 1/3 of that.

I usually don't purchase my paint from Sherwin Williams but the other day I was in a bind and need some HC Blue.  I called my local SW and they did not have any striping paint in stock.  They did sell me 2 gallons of blue latex paint @ 26 dollars a gallon.  NEVER AGAIN!

$2.50/gal here in Maine. Use 99% acetone and then forced me to buy the Hotline product. Always used the Setfast and it dried and lasted equal to the more expensive Hotline.
Wait time to receive 10 days usually.
White $14.00/gal.
