I bought this paint from Rapco two years ago. It has sat unopened in the box for the entire time. I've decided I want to paint my WC-51 in a Desert Sand, so I'm selling the Olive Drab. I did open the box today to make sure I remembered the color correctly. I found one of the gallons was dented and has some paint on the exterior. I don't think it's a leak, as the weight feels the same as the others. I think it was just a spill from filling/handling, but the can is dented.
My preference is to sell all four gallons in the original box with the Styrofoam packaging rather than split them up. I also don't know what shipping will cost... Rapco charged a $26.00 Hazardous material fee on top of the regular shipping cost and I expect UPS would charge me the same or more.
Ideally someone lives close enough to pick them up, but I will look into shipping if you want.
I'm asking $80 for the box of four, or $20.00 for each gallon, plus shipping and hazardous material fees. I've used Gillespie before and it is really good paint. The link below shows a patch of original paint found under the data plate on my 1942 Dodge Carryall laid on top of the new Gillespie 34087 Olive Drab... it's almost a perfect match.
