Also, why ask what the costs are then state elevated costs one post later? Very odd. If he’s in Texas (as his location states) he can get the work done for less than $15k. If OP needs shop suggestions please PM me and I’ll tell you exactly who to go to.

I’d rather buy a car in a pleasant color that has been well built than a car in an unappealing original color that has been resprayed multiple times, just my opinion.

If it’s stripped and re-sprayed properly you don’t say it’s been painted 4 times you simply state it’s been properly resprayed. Indiana Red Metallic is not an unsightly color, it’s a great color. I am talking apples you are talking oranges. Original cars are worth most with good condition original paint, if it’s not original paint then a proper respray in the original color is the next closest thing. People who appreciate original cars is not a dying breed lol. Where did you get that? BAT again apples and oranges. Just because hotrod 911’s are selling like hot cakes right now doesn’t mean you go out and paint a stock 911 Mexico Blue and it adds value. I asked how much because I want to know what Jerry Woods specifically charges. I’m sorry to say but those paint jobs in Texas you refer to I assure you will not be adding any value as that’s not enough money to cover the hours it takes to do properly.
