I was just saying that ppl will first know the car without paint...then once it gets paint it will be like a whole new car.  We did the same thing with our 240 when it had almost 500whp.  First it was like 4 colors.  Everyone got to know the 240 with the mismatched paint and to stay away from it.  Then we painted it.  It was like a whole new car. All of a sudden we were getting races in it again...but that was short lived.
