I'm not positive, but I think I paid $3.99/can for Aervoe camo paint from the army surplus (really just a paintball store now) on Sprague in Spokane. Was actually cheaper per gallon in spray cans than by the gallon.
Has anybody compared Aervoe to Walmart/Krylon for application characteristics, adhesion, longevity, etc? I have also used Krylon and one problem I have with both is that they are not as flat as CARC. For OD semigloss it's no problem but try to touch up CARC forest camo, it never really matches.
I agree about Walmart being anti-union, treating their employees like dirt, etc. I can't stand the place. The few times I've been there, nothing I wanted was spectacularly cheap. Maybe a few percent less than the competition at best. I fail to see why they're so popular, especially in a big city where there are lots of other places to shop including liquidators that are much cheaper. In a small town like Omak, I can see how they could easily undercut the local stores, often to the point where Walmart can retail something cheaper then the local guy can buy it wholesale.
