The amazon stuff is mixed 4:1 SPI epoxy is mixed 1:1. So for the $110.00 Amazon epoxy you get 1.25 sprayable gallons and for $208.00 you get 2 full sprayable gallons of SPI epoxy. For $20.00 a gallon cost savings does not justify using an inferior product in my opinion.

One other thing. I would stay as far away from the mastercoat stuff as possible. It may be OK on a blasted frame or suspension parts? But It has no use on autobody sheetmetal.
Good Tip. Makes sense.
Have you used the epoxy primer from SPI before - does it sand ok if I try and go this route ? I think it makes the best sense to try and learn painting first rather than deep dive on a full restoration and that cost.
