Color matching a car you would think is easy, but there are various shades of the same color depending on the factory it was painted in.
Maybe if you're painting you're bedroom wall , but its getting the pigment red that ends up making it more expensive since it takes more work to actually make it. Any car that is being painted by a professional is going to have the proper primer underneath requiring no more coats than almost any other paint , unless of course you're getting into a candy and thats a whole different story
