Macco or miricle paint?

Took mine in last week to see what they thought it would take to paint. The guy in Eugene seamed really competent and didn't over sell. Looked at an $800 job on a Honda that looked great. He said they used a single stage paint and added clear on the final coat. I wonder if that's good or not? They wanted $1500 for body work but I've been told it's their weak point.
