We determine the paint cost spectrum for perfect k-ary trees. A coloring of the vertices of a graph G with d colors is said to be d-distinguishing if only the trivial automorphism preserves the color classes. The smallest such d is the distinguishing number of G and is denoted Dist(G). The paint cost of d-distinguishing G, denoted ρd(G), is the minimum size of the complement of a color class over all d-distinguishing colorings. A subset S of the vertices of G is said to be a fixing set for G if the only automorphsim that fixes the vertices in S pointwise is the trivial automorphism. The cardinality of a smallest fixing set is denoted Fix(G). In this paper, we explore the breaking of symmetry in perfect k-ary trees by investigating what we define as the paint cost spectrum of a graph G: (Dist(G)
