Lost trace of this one... well forgot to add this : the cheappo urethane paint can be sprayed only with thinner (I have done it, and looks ok but not even close to the good stuff, but it works), after all there is a big difference between a 10 bucks pint and a 120 bucks pint of urethane paint. And yes i agree with you that with the expensive stuff u need the whole shabang danno.
