I ordered Diamont base from these guys. Here's your red, it's $399 (plus tax plus shipping) a gallon. Ouch. Diamont's a brand name / quality base though.

I've been using Southern Polyurethanes slow reducer and universal clear from Baker P&BE (I just fax in an order based on their online price list). $185 for 2 gallons of clear (1 gallon clear, 4 qts activator). $35/gal for reducer (probably need 2). You'd probably want to throw in some white epoxy primer as well. http://www.bakerpbe.com/catalog.php?...=SOUT05&descr=
So yeah, it's easy to go through $750 to get decent paint.
