Sunrize Pearl is $65.81/qt. Put it over white sealer. Clear it. Wet sand and buff. Done.
Here is a site where you can see how much materials cost. (it is a pearl base coat)

There are many GREAT painters out there who won't charge an arm and leg. The big cost is prep and finish not so much the materials.
Good luck to you!
