To do it right, plan on $10-15k for something that has been thoroughly scrubbed and polished up right. They are beautiful in black, I agree. Just know what you are getting into...

I've owned three black cars and one British Racing Green Cobra. Black is not a job, it's a career. They look great when they are freshly detailed, and then it goes downhill from there. I would just get my two black Shelby GT Mustangs would be clean and then I'd have to go around and start over again.

The BRG Cobra had the same problem as black - a really dark background that showed every dust particle.

I wanted a black GT and my wife told me no.

So if you're going to get it repainted, how about the Shelby Guardsman Blue?

P.S. A McClusky paint job will be closer to 20K but it'll be mahvelus!
