Why not just get a black paint job if it's the same car?
to have a car properly repainted, including inside and out, under the hood, under the body, inside the car on the spots you don't see, it'd be $7-10K.. and that'd be for an OK job, nowhere near as good as stock. Most of a car's cost is the paintjob.
Tell me about it. My paint job is going to cost over three times my car's retail value. In regards to the black LS, I like the white better. Hell, I like the gray better. Maybe its that white pin stripe that's throwing me off.

Why color the parts that remain unseen? Unless you're entering it in some sort of show or competition it doesn't really matter.
Yes, it does. And Eric (3800 FTW) is very particular about his car anyways, so that wouldnt be right at all. Look at it like this: If you were painting some cabinets, would you simply take a sprain paint can and start painting? Sure, you could. It could look nice. It could look great. But the second someone looks a little closer, its not so great. Sure, some people might not care, but others are going to look down on you because of its white trash appearance. Then say later down the road, you want to sell said cabinet. Do you really think any buyer is going to like that paint? Same goes for a car.
And FTF, you better be joking.

I didn't mean the quality of the paint, I meant painting under the hood, inside, unseen crevices, etc.. Now that I think about it I've never seen a car painted under the hood though...

The engine bay is usually painted the same color as the car. My hood (the underside) is painted the same. And ultimately, the VIN usually has some sort of indication of the color, so painting it (and painting it cheap) is going to negatively effect the value. More so if its any less quality than stock. Might even make it impossible to sell back to some dealers.

Ah, is that a feature that started after a certain year though? Most of the cars I deal with are '96-'99 and they were unpainted under the hood. I suppose they could have been replaced hoods that were only painted on the top though...

Some dude in Australia thinking I'm a retard is just a risk I'm willing to take.

Every Miata I have ever seen (my car) from '89-'09 has the hood painted on the underside. Same with the rear panels (you can see them from the inside of the trunk). My '86 Celica did to. As does our '85 Wagon. And our '97 Cougar. And my brothers new ('07?) Grand Prix. And pretty much every other car I have seen. And even replaced hoods are painted (mine). Its just what a typical paint job requires. Even a crappy paint job.
