The only way a repaint will not decrease the value of the car is if it is done the SAME way it was originally painted (or close to it!)
That means the car would have to be stripped down to the bare metal: all trim, interior, dash, glass, engine...etc. removed, and put on a rotating thinginy. Door skins should be removed.
Yeah, it can be done, but it costs an arm and a leg. Not to mention the old paint would have to be stripped off as well. All this can end up costing more than the value of the car itself, and the price will almost never be covered in resale value, unless the car is a collector, like a 904 or Speedster.
How can anyone expect a typical repaint to be the same quality as an original paint job? Without removing everything from the body, there will always be over-spray, missed spots, uneven application...etc. That's why a repaint lowers the car's value.
Just my humble opinion.
