Message	If there is overspray, painted mirror bases etc, well the respray really hurts the value. I'd rather have rough oem paint to deal with than a poor quality respray. If the repaint is done well and in good condition, I think it adds value over most oem z32 paint. Lets be honest, if the car hasn't been under a cover in a garage for most of the last 20 something years, oem paint is typically showing some issues. Antihero Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
