Default can anyone get car paint cheap?

not sure what forum to put this in as its just really a question for now.

i might be changing the colour of my car to ford imperal red but was wondering if anyone on here can get the paint cheap.
i got a quote of £210 for the following ( cant find list so its off the top of me head)

4L ford imperal red paint
2L primer
2 or 3 L of hardener ( belive its 2L as paint dont have it in????)
3L of laqure
2L of thinners (for paint etc)
and 5L of cheapy thinners for cleaning gun etc

is £210 a lot for this much?

anyhow just wanna know if anyone can get the expensive bits cheap, paint , laqure and hardnener.
cheers
