Bought a gallon of Extra gold one time when the jobber had a special. I used it once and threw it away. Keep your platinum or platinum plus as it sands much better.
I bought a gallon since it was on sale for about $30. I guess if its real bad I can toss it for that much. Since 3M bought out Marson the Platinum keeps going up in price. Now over $50 locally.
i always liked the platinum over the platinum plus. its sands much nicer. problem is its very hard to find. everyone only carries the plus. around here atleast.
I have found the Platinum 01171 (which has been my go to filler for years now) online for just under $50 shipped and some places selling a case of 4 gallons for $178 shipped but it takes some looking. I don't use enough to warrant buying a case of it.
Locally it is almost $51 a "gallon" before tax.
i ignore the price of filler and primer . if i feel it is the best i will pay the cost. same with any of my materials. worrying about 20-40 bucks on a 10k paint job is ridiculous
