I would disagree, paint and materials are cheap compared to the labor.

You want a good paint job there is a lot of time in the preperation of the body before it gets painted. You can put an "expensive" paint on a poorly prepared car and it will still look like crap. You put a "cheap" paint on a well prepared cr and it is going to look a whole lot better, may not last long though. Pretty much all the paint, paper and tape you would possibly need for a car is going to cost a lot less that $1,000, I would say more like 5-600 actually
