The detail guy mentioned it was single stage paint, and it looked metallic which surprised my. My 96 had white base and clear on it when I got it that looked to mostly not be repaint. What year were they working on?
High price is an understatement, but labor is expensive. I spent about half that for all materials and fiberglass hood for my two color PPG base and clear over epoxy primer two years ago, but I furnished the labor.
