I was also a bit surprised this car didn't do as well at BJ. We saw another black SPF get over $100K, and a CSX 6K car get less than that. I would have thought the crowd there would have been all over that polished aluminum car. I don't think paint would have helped at this auction, but I agree that I'd prefer my Cobra to be painted. That being said, the issues you brought up about the polished maintenance and care needs can be said for a nice, truly SHOW quality solid color (no metallic) paint job, like BLACK.
I have seen and heard too many stories about the BJ circus that I would be extremely hesitant to rely on them to sell one of my cars. I would also be hesitant to buy one of their auction cars without an expert, professional inspection. Even then, a test drive is not allowed. There are too many other venues that protect the sellers and buyers much better. The only one who consistently wins at BJ is BJ.
