Half pints of paint went from Pete's $52 to Koolestuff's $70. Considering it takes more than a half pint for a factory Schwinn match, you're looking at $210 for the base coats alone to paint a bike. One half pint of aluminum is enough.

It was already expensive, now it's outrageous.

There is nothing preventing anyone from marketing their own paints that color match Schwinn paints. There would be a legal problem using the Schwinn name on paint cans but I can see ways of getting around that quite easily.

Did you expand/blow up that picture of the Testers paint can cap? I can tell you that color isn't even close to Campus Green. And it's also way to light for the later Schwinn Emerald Green. Looks like it's in between the two colors of Lime and Radiant Green.

Yes I did went out side expand/blow up that picture in the sun with my bike and it was almost dead on so for 8 buck I am going to get a can and see it might be or not but it worth a try I was told by a guy that restore schwinns that a lot of testers paint are really close to dead on and that is all he uses Hell the paint I got form hyper formance was not a really good match ether after having this can blow up I can NOT afford right now from koolestuff 114 against 8 bucks
i hope this works out if not i will have to live with it for now just can not afford it right now
