wow.. there's so much stuff that comes out of japan. and it's mostly detail pieces like this. you still have some to paint your truck?
I'm guessing there's places that already had that color sitting on their shelves before all that went down in Japan. I wonder how many of those places raised the price of it after they got word is the real question!
I could see costs increasing across the board even if the black pigment doesn't come from Japan just because they can get away with fooling the consumer. Don't forget about the 3 color variations of red also. http://www.fordfullsize.com/forum/f17/paint-shortage-2911/
