Question How much for a Pint?

Can someone tell me how much I should expect to pay for a pint of DSG ( CX ) paint, I am having some paint done on my car, and was curious how much I should expect to pay for a pint of paint?

Thanks!

Automotive paint is not cheap by any means.

Depending on what is being painted, additives and flex agents may be required.

The most expensive car color are the reds... due to the sheer volume of pigments that go into them.

Add the costs of materials, such as sandpaper, body filler, ertc.. it adds up quick!

Well actually I have found it for $26.74, I am actually painting a set of side mirrors for my car, and I have done all the prep work wet sanding, and primer to them with 3 good coats.

So all I need is the paint and activator and my friend is going to spray them for me when he paints someones race car coming up, and he will clear them for me at the same time then.
