The mix ratio is 4/2/1 so you will have $334 + $25 (½ of the reducer) + $100 = $459.00. When everything is mixed together, this will yield about 7 quarts of sprayable paint, ...which when you divide the 7 qts. into the total costs, this makes each 'Sprayable Qt.' come to about $65.00 each. If I were to divide the gallon of paint by ¼, my costs for that quart of 'Can' paint would be over $80. That is the difference between the two terms.

Thanks,Brent! I really appreciate the help. The three colors I've found that I like so far are $391,$399 and $695 a gallon. From 2 different suppliers.
They told me green was a very expensive color. I keep hoping the $695 one,not really a Balsam green, will not be my favorite.

BTW, do you have a code for the PPG DCC Balsam green?
