No one seems to understand the amount of labor it takes to properly paint a vehicle. And a custom finish is more labor for the added time to sand, mask, respray additional clear coats and then additional color block sand & polish. Show quality finishes can run (on a new car) 15-30K! A good quality street finish will run you all of 10K. Remember you get what you pay for, so ask yourself what you plan to do with the car, and wisdom would indicate paint if after you have completed all your other mods.
