Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         This Form 8-K/A amends the current report on Form 8-K dated October 8,
2003 (filed October 13, 2003) to amend the Item in which initial information was
reported from Item 5 to Item 2 and to include Item 7(b) Pro Forma Combined
Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, as well as the Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet
as of September 30, 2003.

         On October 8, 2003, GP Strategies Corporation (the "Company") converted
$500,000 principal amount of the $3,500,000 Senior Unsecured 8% Note due
September 30, 2004 of Five Star Products, Inc. ("Five Star") into 2,000,000
shares of Five Star common stock (the "Five Star Acquisition"). In consideration
for the Company agreeing to convert at a conversion price of $0.25 per share,
Five Star agreed to terminate the voting agreement between the Company and Five
Star. The voting agreement, which by its terms would in any event have
terminated on June 30, 2004, provided that the Company (i) would vote its Five
Star common stock so that not more than 50% of the members of the Five Star
board of directors would be officers or directors of the Company and (ii) would
vote on matters other than the election of directors in the same proportion as
the other Five Star stockholders.

         The Five Star Acquisition, which was approved by a Special Committee of
the Five Star board of directors comprised of an independent non-management
director who is unaffiliated with the Company, increased the Company's ownership
in Five Star from approximately 48% to approximately 54% of the outstanding Five
Star common stock and resulted in the Company obtaining control of Five Star. In
addition, the Company continues to own the remaining $3 million principal amount
of Five Star's Senior Unsecured 8% Note due September 30, 2004.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (a) Financial Statements of the Business Acquired

         The historical consolidated financial statements of Five Star Products,
Inc., including Five Star Products, Inc. consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002, and the consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
fiscal years in the periods ending December 31, 2002 are included in Five Star
Products, Inc Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and
incorporated by reference.

         The historical consolidated financial statements of Five Star Products,
Inc., including Five Star Products, Inc. consolidated condensed balance sheet as
of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, and the consolidated condensed
statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2003 are included in Five Star
Products, Inc Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 and
incorporated by reference.

         (b) Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

         Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2003:

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2003
is prepared as if the Five Star Acquisition had occurred on such date and the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended



December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are prepared as
if the Five Star Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of such periods.
The acquisition is being accounted for as a purchase business combination.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded the estimated fair value of the assets and
liabilities acquired.

         The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on management's
preliminary estimates of the value of the tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities acquired. As a result, the actual adjustments may differ materially
from those presented in these Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements.
A change in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet adjustments of the
purchase price for an acquisition would primarily result in a reallocation
affecting the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets. The income
statement effect of these changes will depend on the nature and amount of the
assets or liabilities adjusted.

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements are presented for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations of the Company that would have occurred had
the purchase been consummated as of the dates indicated above. In addition, the
Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the
future financial conditions or operating results of the Company.

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements have been
prepared by the management of the Company. The statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and the nine months ended September
30, 2003, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, as amended, and its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003, as amended. The
statements should also be read in conjunction with Five Star's historical
financial statements, and the notes thereto for its fiscal year ended December
31, 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which are included in
Five Star's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2002 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2003, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
