Default Cost of WA8774?

I was just quoted about 170 bucks for a pint of that paint code (Bright Red) and clear coat and hardener with tax.. Does that sound right? Haven't bought paint and supporting supplies for a car before.

Thanks

Sounds like a pint of paint, quart of clear, and the correct amount of hardeners and reducers. Its obiviously not one of the cheaper lines of paint. For the better quality products that about right.
