#8441 has ruined many of the cars and trucks we have painted by buying a product O'Riley's Auto Parts sold us for over 14 months. As WE discovered several months ago that "their" product was old stock and at least 11+ years old. We have been sold that we learned--after the fact--that the label on the #8441 2K primer was made before 2005. That is when they changed the old orange and yellow labels (that they sold us repeatedly) had been BLUE color since 2005. This product has a shelf life mush less that 11+ years. NAPA's labels and cans are TIME STAMPED, so the consumer and they KNOW to rotate there stock. Sort of like MILK when we go to the grocery stores! We know when a product is BAD because it is clearly TIME STAMPED. Integrity Auto Body has up too 20+ vehicles DESTROYED because that procedure was ignored or overlooked. I don't know why they sold it; but I do know how it has placed my business in dire straights.
