Change the color of a 993
Anyone got any idea how much it costs for a quality paint job - not a touch up but changing the color from say Black to Arena Red. I happen to love Arena Red but can't find a 96 993 C4S in that color. I'd even have another color painted if it made sense. Does it?

To do it right you would strip it down completely and that would not be cheap $10-15K minimum for a quality job. In addition you'll dramtically depreciate the value of the car.
Keep searching the net I think I saw an Arena Red turbo in St. Louis recently for low $60s.
