Matt,
I think the Paint score includes more than just the paint i.e. door / boot / bonnet alignment, which I know mine is not perfect.
However, having had a $10,000 paint job it is strange that the score was relatively low.
As Craig said - it depends upon the Judge and what he prefers.
No doubt Scotty can shed some light.
Good to see such a coring system as you now have an idea on what to do to win such events like:
Spend $20,000 on the paint;
Strip the cockpit and install plenty of wood and shiny bits;
Replace the engine and install even more shiny bits
All for a $20 trophy - bargain
