You're gonna see that increase everywhere, some suppliers may be quicker to update their prices than others. Can't remember what the percent was but I was told in Columbus that one-shot increased across the board.

Stan..Do what the supplier does...increase your rates by 30%!!!
Seriously...Maybe it IS time to increase your rates a bit?
I don't use One-shot since I don't hand letter but from talking to others who do...isn't the cost of the paint a VERY small part of doing the job? Unlike vinyl, which is a very large part of the cost of doing the job?
Some have told me they can earn $2000-$5000 from a $10 can of one-shot?? I don't know if it is an exaggeration but even if it is $1000 from $10 worth of paint...hell I wouldn't sweat paying an extra $3!!!

If your buying gallons enmasse', that's a hella lot of extra money, which equates to alot more work to justify it.
RAISE YOUR RATES TO MATCH!!!!! (show me the rule that says you can't or shouldn't)

Hi Stan, Aluma-Panel recently opened up a new warehouse in Moultrie,Ga. I know they deliver in the Tallahassee,FL and other panhandle areas.Of course they will ship UPS if you aren't close enough for delivery. Just checked the map..Aluma-Panel is 166 miles northwest of you. Weren't you at the last Hog Town meet in Gainesville? One Shot Fire Red and other colors are $15.04 a pint to give you an idea of their prices.Black and white are $10.81 a pint. The metallic are more. They carry One Shot lettering,bullentin, and other background paints and primers. Here's their toll free number: (866) 608-9746 www.alumapanel.com Talk to Don Parrish and tell him I sent you. Judy

Stan...AlumaPanel only comes as far south as Starke or High Springs. Call Tubelite in Orlando...they deliver to Gainesville 2x a week...1-800-432-8526. Alumapanel is good too, you'll just have to drive a little...I think Carl's Signs would let you get it delivered there (Starke).
