Bad paintjob - impact on value

[christiandk]

Wow, just wow. Even if the paint job were done by a blind monkey I would not be impressed.

No rust, hmmmmmmm.

But a new coat of the original Aubergine will make it a 100k car - or so the seller says.

I'd buy it and paint it either olive green, sepia or slate grey (non-metallic).

I'm ok with well done color changes.

Not talking about color changes bit the quality of the job. Did you see the pics?

Little or no rust, (that hasn't been painted over).
Looks like a brush was used.

Figure $25,000 for a good paint job with minor surface rust repair But then all the other worn parts would stand out.
If that paint was good enough for the PO; how worn is the chassis and engine?

Really not a bad deal...

Yep. It's a $399 MAACO paint job that was advertised in the mid 90s.

My only point was that this is a great car for someone to buy and paint it their favorite early 911 color without worry (or regret) of being the first to color change a car with an original paint color. Like any other $50k early 911, there is rust but I still like this car and think it is a good match for the right type of buyer.
