Delstar On-Line

I ran across this site today that sells Delstar on-line. The prices are real high for an AE but not that out-of-line with what you said was the price on a gallon of 60080. I couldn't find any listing of the DXR80 or the various DTR reducers anywhere on the site. I assume they sell those also since not to do so would make no sense. The stuff is far too expensive to mess around with generic additives.

They also list OMNI MAE but the prices for it are a lot higher than ones I saw locally a couple of years ago - MAE60080 was about $12-$13 per quart as I recall.

I noticed on the same site that you can look up the PPG code (with color chips) for just about any auto made since the horse and buggy. Too bad they don't also list tractors and other farm equipment.

I was surprised to not find the OMNI MTK on the site. When I last bought some two years ago at a local jobber, I paid $51.50 for a gal (orange cost class), $25.51 for a qt of MH168 slow hardener and $15.78 for a gal of MR186 med reducer. That's walk-in, off-the-street prices - no special discount. At a mix ratio of 4:1:1 color:reducer:hardener, that calculates out to $54 per RTS gal if you take a credit for the 3 qts of leftover reducer. I am sure it is somewhat more today but it still provides a very good value for a reasonable price. I have used quite a bit of Delstar in years past and liked it a lot. Is it so great that it is worth three times the cost of the MTK? No. Not in my opinion. However, the site is a source for anyone who can't get it in their local area and wishes to pay the price.
