Why should a repaint decrease a car's value?
Everything I read and hear says a repaint decreases a car's value. I can't believe that the factory system in say 1980 is that much superior to the technology available today at reputable shops. I can see where original paint in excellent condition would increase a car's value but not why a well painted car to remove scratches, fading, and door dings should reduce the value.
If someone thinks you are trying to hide something, before and after pictures should handle that issue.
Can someone explain what the factory paint process was and why it is still superior to repainting?
Would a Porsche developed/endorsed standard for painting help maintain the value?
