I ordered a PROTO!!!!!

Yes... I'm excited! I'll still have to wait 20 days to get my hands on it since someone is bringing it from the US to Brazil but still...

My Bushy is gone and will be missed! I just wanted to have some experience with the spool valve design.

As soon as I get it I'll take some pics and make some vids (with paint hehehe)

How hard is it to get paint down there? Is there a huge markup in cost because of the labor? Please tell me, I'm interested.

GL w/ your proto,

Well, most paint is imported... the most common ones here are Zap and the RPS family (Evil etc...) Severe is as big as the two I already mentioned and it is manufactured here in Brazil. They also have a plant in Argentina and some grades of paint come from the Argentina factory. That really doesn't make any diference because the price difference is not that big, within each category of paint of course.

Anyway, a case of tournament paint (Chronic, Marbalizer etc...) costs the equivalent of US$75-80 bucks which probably doesn't sound that bad to you however it is important to remember that Brazil is a developing (poor) nation and the minimum wage here is the equivalent to about US$98 a MONTH.

So if you compare it to US standards panit cost here is about average but some families do have to live off that minimum wage.

Pretty sad.

Well, hope I answered all your questions.

Regards,

André

Its good to know you spend a months worth of wages on a case of paint....

[Crazy]

that would explain why severe paint is always poor quality...
