As Jamie points out there's often more prep work that's needed.

Back to paint, I personally would go for solid colour in the bay and inside purely because there is a high possibility of contamination ( i.e. Crud in the paint ) due to the very nature of the area and how hard it is to clean 100% and there's always the risk of dislodging debris that had been missed or just relocated during the pre paint clean. If this occurs then you have a better chance of flatting and polishing out any imperfections.
Base coat and lacquer do have better UV protection but in the bay and under the carpet this isn't going to be much of an issue.
But this is just my opinion as chortle said chat to your painter and get his take on things as people generally have a preferred method of working hence why he said he'd rather do the prep himself.
Again as already stated make sure you get the correct variant of colour.
Anyway just remember when it's done it's going to look AWESOME!!
