I can't even count. I think it's been four seasons now. When it was still a daily driver I was going through a good 15lbs a week on the street in the summer, if not more some weeks. I don't use nearly that much now, maybe half that.

That's what made me buy the refill station. For the first 2-3 years I'd spray the car every chance I got, that's one of the reasons that I can't believe that it hasn't broken. It's kind of a handful to be spaying just anywhere now.

Yeah it's super simple, compressor, pump, scale, and a filter. Between the **** I had lying around and ebay, I built it for about $350. Normally they are about $800 without a scale. Here's a pic of when I first set it up. It's been rearranged and grown alittle since then.

That one has 65lbs in it, I think some suppliers offer like 55 and 75 too. I usually keep two here now and fill for the locals, the thing has paid for itself plus what I use.
