Price is more than reasonable IMHO. Your not just looking at the body cost but the prep time, paint time, cost of materials involved and skill set too. All of my RC bodies are the typical one (maybe 2) color rattle can jobs but I would not hesitate to pay for a body like this. Just look at the sliver fade detail, and all the other details in the paint. You are probably looking at a minimum of 7-8 paint colors needed to paint this body. Plus the fact that even if I could start to pull this off, I would probably mess something up towards the end of painting it that in turn would make it look like crap. Now I am a cheap person and rarely buy new but the amount of time and work that went into this body would be worth every penny.
