could be a typo on the site. personally i would just go to your local paint store the one near me
can put paint in a spray can too for pretty much the same price (a little cheaper actually+no shipping). maybe look up automotive paint supplies in the yellow pages or something?

how is the spray can stuff? my boss knows a guy that did his harley with it.....
he put a decent amount of time into it, sanding etc, but it looked great when he was done...maybe its worth it?

well i suppose it depeds on what you are doing. i did my door trim but that was minor.
i suppose it also depends what supplies and resources you have. if you have a booth where you can spray and not have stuff get on the paint then i would not go the can route. also assuming you have a good gun.
if you have neither of these and dont mind sanding and making it look right i dont see it as a bad option. my door trim turned out just fine.
