Thanks Brad. Next time I'm driving through Utah, I'll be sure to pick some up.  Seriously, I'll try some of the smaller chains around here to try to find some. Maybe they can order me some so I can save on shipping. Carl

I did end up getting it from grainger only because of the good guy discount I get.

If they don't have it, I'll swing by Nevada while on the way through Utah where Brad found his. Seriously, thank you all for the ideas where to look! Carl

A grocery (jerky and beer), Laundromat & bait (jerky and beer) store, with some old John Deere paint in the back. Carl will have to go to the "Big City" sooner or later. He can't order online because of what happened to the last UPS guy. Ever see "Deliverance"?

The ironic part of all of this, is that I am asking where to find Rustoleum paint to paint my truck for a spot on match for original dash color. Rustoleum paint?! To a redneck like me, that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

It has a stigma. But it colors the metal and lasts. We, in Arizona, were not involved in the Civil war except one little skirmish, in that sence, we are not Yankees. We are not north of the Mason-Dixon and in that sence are not Yankees. We are in the southwest of the US, in that sence we are not Northerners or Blue bellies.

Saved on the shipping! Had enough money left over to buy me some pickled eggs, potted meat, AND an Nehi grape soda.
