Yes, that's true. However, most show cars have really high-end paint jobs, in excess of $10,000. The only reason I mentioned anything is because the quality of aftermarket paint can be really poor. Also, since black is highly reflective, they have to be really careful about sanding, tacking and imperfections. Otherwise it looks like the f_ck up fairy painted it.
I didn't mean to be critical. I'm sure your body shop does great work and the car might come out great. Personally though, I've never seen an aftermarket paint job that looked better than an OEM job (OK, maybe a Korean OEM). Anyway, I didn't mean to rattle any cages, I hope my comments are taken as just that -- comments.
