Over $15k for a paint job? I would have to sell my wife to afford that and I could never enjoy the car. If you can live with that paint job in the real world (rocks fling from other cars, inconsiderate people leaning over the fenders with cowboy belt buckles, kids with toys rolling over your fenders) more power to you. I don't have much more than that in my whole car.
I bet it is pretty. Did you build a glass case to display it in?
