The clear has a fairly big price range same as the color it all depends on the quality when i painted my old del sol i got a galon of color and used half of it and a gallon of clear and used all of it cause i put 6 coats of clear on

for a galon of the color it was $112 and the clear was $148 plus about 80 extra for activators and reducers that was all dupont paint
