You're correct about the cost, around $30 a can. All you can do is prepare for as many costume pieces
as possible to be ready for each of the clear coat applications. You will use 2-3 cans for sure. I think the
Alumaluster cost was $150 -$200 for all of our armor, two helmets, part of his rifle, and the Armorers hammer
and I still have about a 1/4 of the pint left. Some of these extras used more 2K as well. All I can say is a good
costume is a lot of hard work and needs a good finish.
