I applaud the paint restoration attempt. It would have been incredible to have 1966 paint on the car, and have it look good. Almost unprecedented for a non-museum car. But since all of the car's road-going contemporaries have probably been repainted at some point, the fact that you'll have to respray is not surprising at all. So here's a question for you: are you going to respray to the quality from Porsche, or go for a top-shelf sort of finish that show cars get? Often times, the quality of a restoration style repaint is far above would would have come from the factory, IMO.
