• We're sorry, we're no longer shipping to Canada at this time.

•  Subject to stock availability. We try to maintain accurate stock counts on our website but from time to time there may be a stock discrepancy and we will not be able to fulfill all items at time of purchase. If this happens, we will contact you about whether you would prefer to await restocking of the item or a refund.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES
• We strive to give you the best products, but you’re not satisfied with the product’s performance, we will issue a refund if we believe all instructions have been followed properly. Return window is within 30 days of purchase.  Please understand that these products have a shelf life. The urethanes such as Mastercoat Permanent Rust Sealer (all varieties), Chassis Black topcoat, AG111 topcoat and AC2000 (discontinued) should be used within a year of purchase date. Shelf life of unopened cans is one year. Taking the lid off of the can of these products drastically reduces the shelf life. These products are manufactured in small containers (quarts) to be used all at once. If you store product that has been opened, you do so at your own risk. We do not issue refunds on containers that have been opened and cannot guarantee the life of product once lid has been removed. We do not give replacements of cans that have been dented in shipping without a return of damaged items. Damage during shipping is dealt with on a case by case basis. We exchange unopened products within 30 days of purchase date. Shipping is non-refundable and buyer pays for return shipping costs. Proof of purchase is required. Metal Prep, Tru Cure, and MCT101 thinner are non-returnable and non-refundable due to hazmat restrictions. Call us at 1-800-833-8933 to request a refund or exchange. Refund will be rendered back to original payment and can take up to two weeks.  Unopened containers must be in resellable condition upon return or we reserve the right to charge a 20% restocking fee.

If there are ANY problems whatsoever, always email or call us first. Please DO NOT attempt to reverse payment through Paypal or file a Paypal dispute. This results in fees for all of us.

The shipping and handling price given to you upon checkout is based on weight. Extra fees for residential and/or rural deliveries apply if shipping fee to your address is much higher than the flat rate. Multi piece shipments incur higher shipping rates. If the amount charged at checkout is incorrect, we will bill you the correct amount via Paypal and as soon as the payment is authorized, your order will ship. IF THE SHOPPING CART FAILS TO CALCULATE A SHIPPING COST FOR ANY REASON, YOU WILL BE SENT A SEPARATE BILL FOR THE COST AND THEN YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP WHEN IT IS AUTHORIZED. Rates are subject to change without notice due to FedEx's rapidly fluctuating rates. FedEx shipping rates are based on the ACTUAL rates given to us by FedEx. Please understand that we are a small family business and do not get the discounts big corporations get.
