This implies (probably not intentionally) that the results will be inferior.

If someone is doing the work for another person the buyer has to live with the results. As Brent said, some paint take longer to color sand than others. If you are paying the restorer just 50.00 and hour, the extra hours needed will soon surpass that the cost of the good paint and the extra hours could have been used on another car.

Agreed. When you are spending big bucks on a restoration labor is the the majority of the cost. the cost of (even very expensive) paint will be a small percentage of the total cost. I would also expect only the best for my hard earned money.

Fine point car looking for max points restored by another, I would expect the best products that will last the longest.

One could argue that points should be deducted for an overly perfect paint job since it doesn't present a model A as it was when new. I would judge the finish on the award winning roadster below (especially the fenders as too perfect for a fine point car. But that is another whole topic for another day!

My car, I would use middle of the road products as my time is just that mine and I don't charge myself for my time.

And I am sure your car is beautiful and no one would accuse you of settling for inferior parts or products.
