100% of the reason it's an ERA and not a Kirkham in my garage. Aluminum is beautiful, bare or painted. But for a driver, with kids and dogs and a less-than-NASCAR garage, glass is more forgiving.

I'd take aluminum any day over paint after having a Kirkham!

Most people don't notice the flaws. If a painted car had the road rash my Kirkham does it would look like hell! If the car gets anything significant it can be pulled out and no one would ever be able to tell the difference.

Also, being just up the street from the shop I'm pretty lucky, well 60 miles. (But that's a trivial distance in a Cobra!
