So, yeah - the paint's still expensive...but I don't believe it's $10 thousand--expensive.
It's possible, I've seen Harley tanks a fenders with 15K plus paint jobs. Let alone custom cars.

But a car that is going to get throttled durring filming??? I can see why you'd say that 10k seems a bit much. That makes sense. Maybe it's 10K to recreate it at a custom paint shop? I don't think I'd go to Earl Scheib and ask for bumble bee paint.
