Like you many of the quotes I have received have been over 8k. I guess like others have said here, how bad can you mess up?
The Hood, Header panel and engine bay are a two stage. The rest of the car was done in a single stage. I have to be honest. I cannot tell the difference and quite a few body men have seen it already and when I point it out to them they start doing that looking on an angle dance and not one has said he has been able to see any difference. I will say this to you though, if you mess up, the two stage is a lot easier to fix than the single stage in regards to sanding out the drips etc... I knew I could spray as I have done parts before. If you have a good feel for your gun, go with a single stage, if not you may want to dish out the extra bucks for the two stage material.
