That seems about right. Not because of the material, but the labor. NKP 765 has had exactly 2 paint jobs in the past 20 years...because the effort required is great. The labor requirements are the single greatest factor in deciding how to paint cars...because you have to organize enough volunteers for enough days. For commercial railroading, the translates into money.
