price"
Funny you should say that!
At the paint factory where I used to work we would make up hundreds of
gallons of paint at a time and pour it into gallons, quarts and 1/2 pint
containers. They would then get and number of labels ranging from OSH,
John Deer, Big R, K-Mart and several other mom and pop stores.
I would occasionally look for our product "distinguished by our coding" on
different store shelves and was amazed by the price variation. Same product
but different label.
The stronger stuff were talking about "POR-15, Eastwood etc., normally has a
high VOC concentration and we weren't able to sell it in California. It was
shipped to other states with not as strict standards.
