Instead of respraying the car, have you thought about just wrapping the car with painted vinyl wrap? There was a red 360 on here that someone wrapped with white metallic vinyl which came out pretty nice. Just a thought, since it'll cost a ton of money to get a top notch paint job on a car like the CGT and it'll also depreciate the value of the car.
to be honest I dont care about depreciating the value. Every mile is an investment in my happiness and pays be more in smiles than I loose in value. I plan to drive the **** out of the car and put as many miles on it as I can, so the value is gonna tank anyways. And I plan to keep it the rest of my life, which means till I crash it
. Even if I wanted to sell it, its GT silver, the lowest valued color. If I go with a Fayance yellow (maybe add pearl) or sometype of Aqua blue, Iris blue, Navy blue, etc it will be of such a rare and desired color it shouldnt effect value too much if any. I doubt it will increase it, but if you want 1 of a handful of navy blue CGTs out there, youll have to come to me 
and kill me, cause I aint sellin

you say that as if you didnt think I would
I always do what I say I will
next up on the wish list, either a F40, LP640 (6 SPEED!!), or down the line Zonda S 7.3 (there are ways to get them in
)maybe a F430 (6 SPEED!!) to hold me over for a year or two, maybe

tried to "pot" my fake fence posts, but the wind had other ideas about my genius idea. This could be more effective

I knew you would get it, but I thought with winter coming here in Indy you would wait till spring! I know a few folks who want to run it already

you get a better deal in winter, or going into it
plus the lack of traction gives me time to slowly learn the car rather than just jumping in it and going full bore and doing something stupid
whoever wants to run it better be prepared to lose, unless I cant hook up the rears
I hope Lee is still around, I can finally dethrown him

I would love to see that race, but Lee is down in Arizona now. You can def. get a better deal during this time but it would be so hard to watch it sit in the garage!! My plan is to pick up a 996tt in february-March so I only have to suffer a short time before enjoying it.
On a serious note, congrats. The CGT is my favorite car and I wish you nothing but good times with it.

Can you please post a pic of the van in the driveway, from far away maybe so that we can get a sense of the neigborhood too. Like others have said, I love that you're doing your own thing.

I have the same problem with the old lady that lives next door to me. My cars are no where near as sweet as yours, but once they started lining up my neighbor started hating me and calling the city / cops for whatever she could. Love your car collection and can't wait till the day I can purchase a car like that ! Enjoy your rides
