Just a data point. My aircraft was the first painted by Crider in Mena; cost including ferry the aircraft in and Mena pickup, took 10 days and about $6000; that was $4500 for painting and $1500 for my expenses; Paint (Azko Nobel) was a base Jetglo Matterhorn white and trim in Cranberry craze Acryglo. That was July 2008; just received another quart of white and hardener at no charge to repaint leg fairings and wheel pants while installing new mains from Matco.

That was a good deal! Looks like paint went up these past five years.
Specific costs from my paint job
JetGlo Matterhorn White was $145/gal and the hardener was $163/gal.
I use the following ArcyGlo colors
Phantom Gray metallic was$145/gal
Seminole Red Metallic was$126/qt
Silver Metallic was $126/qt
Hardener was$54/qt
Stabilizer was $37/pint
Clear coat was$103/gal
Primer was $157/gal
PrimerAdduct was $96/gal
I priced several PPG products which cost about the same locally.
Like I mentioned previously, I spent about $3,700 just for the paint. It was clearly sticker shock to me. I hadn't realized that paint was so expensive until I started getting quotes.
