Default How much does it cost to paint a car... v18000

so i went to a local body shop to get an estimate/quote on repainting the whole car. This includes some work with fixing some dents and removing rusts.
the quote i got from the guy

For $18,000 he better take you out on a date then put out afterwards. Hell even a sloppy beej would be ok.

Are they stripping it down to the chassis, coating that in gold, painting all the panels, sanding it off, then painting it again?
