For what it’s worth, I know that Daytona Gray costs almost 3x the “normal” amount to mix solids or metallics due to a very high xyrillix pearl content on both of the paint schemes we have. It is genuinely a much more expensive paint to produce. The high amount of pearl also makes it less opaque so you often need additional paint to get it to cover properly
