Default Trying to determine raw materials cost for painting

Am I missing something? I just called the HD store in Grand Prairie, TX and they quoted $45/qt for the color and $80/qt for the clear. Color only requires thinner (it's laquer) and since the clear is urethane, it requires hardner and reducer. It's likely going to be $200 in material alone.

Saddlebag extensions and CVO rear fascia are at the shop now, they should be done sometime this week....
they got busy, so my stuff has to wait... but that's the price I'm willing to pay for free....

????????????? I just had mine done a month ago, and the shop that painted it had the paint mixed, used their own clear and everything else (since all paint shops carry the stuff) and I paid $175 OTD. He gave me the rest of the paint (1/4 pint left) as well. The paint shop I had do it, had never done an inner fairing before; It turned out awesome!
