I know for a fact that a new painted DeLorean from a California 
dealership in 1981 ran $3000 more than a non painted D.  So, back then 
the price was effected... and I suspect had the factory been able to 
get the painting process in place, it would have increased the price of 
the car.

This all raises an interesting question thats probably been brought up 
before....  if they did paint the D, would you not own one now because 
of that?!?

And here is another observation I have made that I might regret 
bringing up, but... why is it when everyone is so "stainless" gun ho, 
does the painted DeLorean take the "Peoples Choice Award".  Please dont 
flame me on that comment... I own one of each and love them both... its 
just an observation.
