Painting An Uncompleted 6000 Series Roller

[RodKnock]

Hurting the value by repainting the car would be the absolute LEAST of my worries. My biggest worry would be pissing away $10,000-$25,000 on redoing a perfectly fine paint job.

If you don't like the paint, then go find another Shelby roller. But that's just my opinion.

We don't know what he is going to be paying for the roller. It may be a good enough price that the cost of a repaint can easily be absorbed.

If not then I agree with the second half.

IMO, even if you paid a $1 for the roller, spending $10,000-$25,000 on an unnecessary paint job is a waste of money to me. There's nothing wrong with black with white stripes. Spend the paint/additional money on a Cammer!

Or buy a Honda Accord or invest in JNJ or something.

how much does McClusky charge to paint a fiberglass reproduction Cobra? $20-$25K Really? Does he paint himself or his paint guy does the physical labor?

that's crazy $$$$ for a repro car worth maybe $60-$70K complete with engine?

If u gonna blow that amount, get a real painter who actually paints the car and doesn't farm it out to his Staff. Call Charley Hutton. he charges way less than $25K.

Well, that's the most uninformed post on this thread. I will leave it at that.

I'm starting to get the impression that everyone from NYC is an idiot.

Bernica, what part of his statement didn't you like? The part about your Shelby being a "repro" or the part about it where he says it's only worth $60,000-$70,000 complete with engine? Or was it the part about McCluskey not doing his own disassembly, prep work, bondo/sanding and painting?

Personally, I'd find Earl Scheib and get him to paint it. Is he still alive?

This NYG person is a goldmine of entertainment.

All of the above.
Calling out McCluskey? Really?
And suggesting Charlie Hutton just tells me that someone has been sitting on their couch watching old re-runs of "American Hot Rod".

Oh, why not. It's been kind of boring around here anyway.

Sir,
u are living in the past.
I did not call out McClusky. I simply stated $20-$25K to paint a fiberglass car is a lot (Congrats to your financial success if u think that is a reasonable price).
I do not know how much McClusky charges, or if he does the physical work himself. Does he paint the car himself?

It's a fiberglass body car. Fiberglass is fiberglass. Shelby didn't reinvent fiberglass or did he?

BTW, if this thread is some sort of elaborate way to persuade me to paint my polished aluminum Kirkham, it's not working.
