I believe it is the same crowd that did the much longer 600H video that I posted in January:

Same logo on the spray booth.

Both using BASF Glasurit paint.

Cool to watch. I don't know what this cost, but you can probably buy a new LS (or two) with it.

Doing the first one would be massively expensive, but the "learning curve" would kick in and make it less expensive with each subsequent build.

You think they are doing many of these? My guess is that it's a one off to shoot the promotional video, but happy to be proven wrong. I can't imagine there are many people who would pay for such a restoration of an LS, Now a Mercedes Gullwing..

It just seems to be too well organised for it to be a "one off".

Maybe it's just the cost accountant in me(former life).

Of course, it could only be possible in a relatively low wage situation.
