10k should stop it I reckon.

What am I missing here.

I suspect it might be because typically, other replica Cobra's need around 40-100 hours of bodywork and multiple rounds of priming and blocking. Shops know this and need to estimate accordingly.

Although the Pace body is really good, it still needs bodywork before paint but there's nowhere near the hours in it compared to others.

Why don't you bring her down to Mexico and I can paint her for you BJ?
