Unfortunately preferably these cars found their to us, as many (stupid) buyers decided to import based on internet pictures.
I'm very sure that there are true professionals in the US who make a perfect job has they are here, so make sure to have it done by one of them, ideally with a photo documentation of the work.

Or, even better, try to have it rescued by a professional polish.

IMHO as long as enough comparable cars with OEM paint are available a re-paint will considerably affect value.

haha I've seen many cars with those paint jobs: look mint in pictures, but up close there's masking tape lines and defects!

I have a friend that's a professional car painter and does very high end work. He'll disassemble the car and do it properly so it's better than factory paint. With a proper documented respray like that, It'll raise the value. Most importantly, I'll love the way it looks!
