Afraid of hurting resale value on a Boxster? You are dellusional! the value of these cars has dropped so far, I really don't see resale being hurt, especially if it is a very well done job in a potentially desirable color and is documented.

For reference, I was looking at a 914 that was taken down to bare metal and repainted. The receipts for that were $9000. I would be very suprised to get a quality re-paint, in another color for less than $5K. I
