However be cautious about this price. If I understand your post correctly he quoted you $900 for paint and labor? I can't even buy paint for under $1,000 for a car, and that's just one color. What brand of paint is he using? And what do you mean by sealer over the clear? There's no such thing as far as I know...atleast not paint wise. Maybe he means some sort of wax? And if so you shouldn't wax fresh paint for 3-6 months after it's done so all solvents work their way out.
If his price of $900 is just the labor to do the job and he isn't doing any bodywork, then it's reasonable.
Just wanted to give you a heads up so you don't get into a bad situation or get something less than what you're hoping for.

Im with hardcore on this one.... both of us being painters that puts up a flag!
The way it goes is you do the body work, prime the body work, wet sand, sealer, base, then clear..... and if hes gonna use a sealer wax after he paints slap his face! Never put wax on a newly painted vehicle..... ever! Even after the clear coat is hard it is not fully done curing. What brand paint is he using Sherwin Williams!? I cant get paint that cheap... any where!
PS- Thanks for choosing my color scheme
