[panteralee]

I had my Pantera painted by a local shop. I stripped it down and gave them a car ready to finish and paint. The finish is a quality job and met my criteria and cost $4K. I don't know what a "show quality" job would be unless they are referring to a Pebble Beach concours investment. Seems absurd. Think about this, the originals were probably painted for $500. I saw on the GT40 forum where someone paid $40K to have a replica painted and was bragging about the museum quality of the job. I guess to each their own on how to spend your hard earned cash.
