Getting a COA and going back to the original color and paint type will bring the most value.

Painting it any color you desire but one that is accurate to your year is the next valuable option

Painting it any color you like that is not a Porsche color is the least desirable.

$4,500 is not a lot for a good paint job. The work is in the prep and good quality paint. Go this route if you just want a nice 10 footer.

$10,000 is closer to a color-change, higher quality paint job. Do this if you plan to keep the car for awhile and go with a Pcar color.

I bought a '68 with the $4,500 paint already done. It was not great and I ended up doing a complete color change to a Gulf blue and it ran about $11,000 for a glass out, all new seals with trunk and engine compartment painted black. Not a bare metal job either but sanded down quite a bit. The previous paint was bare metal.

Just my 2 cents.
