Default Mettallic Paint

Why is it that having Mettallic paint on a car costs 300 quid, is there a technical reason, is the paint a lot more expensive or do they have to do something different to the car before painting it, or is it something they have been getting away with for years that people put up with ?

Nope your right...

Same price, and the same process to apply it!
