Paint: $10,000

Purchase: $10,000

Total: $29,000.

No, $10,000 would be a reasonable purchase price especially considering the ability to sell the SBC at some point.
An SBC installation will almost always include a big honking radiator up front.
Add another $2.5K or so to patch up all the holes cut for the cooling system!
