Does this cost sound about right? Anyone with some paint knowledge please chime in.

I don't have a lot of paint knowledge, and can't help much here, but I can tell you I've seen a number of lemans sunset cars with aftermarket parts and their paint matching was typically pretty poor (almost always too dark). it seems like a tough color to match properly. something to keep in mind if you aren't spraying an entire car.

you're fortunate that "lemans sunset" won't have sun issues on a repaint.

Too high although it's bee a while since I've bought the color. Last time I bought it I paid around $500 a gallon. But I also added some extra pearl to the formula.

Shop around that's really high. It's not like it's a color off of their Vibrance line.

Paintscratch.com sells the paint for $90.70 per pint. You might give them a try.

Carpaintonline.com is another I use to give me a rough idea on the price or to look up formula numbers. I believe they show roughly the same pricing as above for this color.
