You got ripped if you paid that much for a pint. Granted pints are more expensive in relation to quarts and gallons in that the more you buy the cheaper it is. Example: 1 quart of Bright Rally Red cost me $70. 1 Gallon of Bright Rally Red cost me $200. So it's like getting a free quart if I buy a gallon at a time. But more specifically I buy NBM quarts at a time and only pay $37 for quart. Pint may cost $24-26 max. Also, that's for Valspar base coat which is the same company that makes House of Kolor, pretty good stuff.

I want pics, thinking of doing the same thing with CME valance and PPG, expensive stuff, but I'd rather do it than give a body shop the chance to @#$% it up.
