Another differentiator between the SPF and the ERA is the ability to control the painting process. In that vein, SPF states that it provides a "show quality" paint job. With the ERA one would be able to specify whatever level of quality (and money) you wanted to achieve.

Clearly, the best way for me to judge this is to see a "new" superformance which I have not yet experienced. Also, this assumes that there is consistent quality from the factory (seen one seen them all).

Knowing first hand what goes into the prep and painting of a fiberglass car, I wonder if the SPF factory finish is truly "show quality" or just "good". Show quality means different things to different people, but true show quality is not usually easy, or inexpensive, to achieve. Especially in fiberglass.
