I just got back from my friendly PPG dealer. The guy ahead of me carried out a gallon of paint, I couldn't help overhearing the transaction - $1300 and some change!!! Just for the paint.

So I asked the counterman about paint prices. Of course they vary between quality, and color mixes but anywhere in the
$100 to $400 a quart range is typical according to him. So I asked him what was the high-end paint going for - he reached back and grabbed a 6 oz.(!!!) bottle of something and said it sold for $325. Egad!!!!

Fortunately, I only needed wet/dry paper today.
