Just got my October catalog in the mail. Seems to be expensive and have no idea regarding quality. They have a lot of rattle can stuff for corrosion and painting.
Any thoughts from the crowd?

+1 on Eastwood. I've bought a number of their products, and they are good stuff....although I was a little disappointed in the fender roller I bought. Our local BMWCCA Chapter owns one that's been used dozens of times, and I had no problem when I borrowed it. When the fender roller went on sale a couple years ago I bought one, just to have it here when needed. The construction was identical to the one the club owns except for one critical part: the jack screw that forces the roller against the fender lip. The one on the club-owned piece had a hardened screw. Mine didn't. It was soft enough steel that the threads stripped/distorted with the first use. I bought a piece of hardened all-thread (I forget the diameter/pitch, but it was Metric) and replaced the inferior original. I've had no problem with it since. I could have returned it, but i have access to the material I needed, and it was cheaper than the cost to return the tool.
Eastwood was made aware of the problem, and have apparently corrected it in later versions.
