including all prep work and everything? what kind of paint? are you looking at a good primer/top coat/clear coat or a mixed enamel type deal? Thats a decent price for the top coat/clear if he does quality work...

good quality stuff, if you'd look at the link you'd see my car is already primered. pop riveting the kit painting door jams, fender line under hood, front support under hood, under the trunk. dupont paints or marten senor? one or the other.

Ahh I see now. I'd think a single stage paint would do the trick, its easier/cheaper, and in most cases, when doing a solid color, will actually come out BETTER than a multi-stage paint. (Of course we're not talking about 5k+ show quality paint jobs here)

The 240Z supposedly belongs to someone in TX, maybe we can find out? Anyone from Tex recognize the bad arse 240Z.

I like the darker, but the lighter may accent the CF hood better.

they sell CF doors in Australia, soon to have CF 20mm front and 30mm rear quarters in USA, and full CF ground effects in USA, got a guy in CA that makes body panels for indycars that drags a 240sx S14 and he makes trunk lids and other stuff in CF for the S14. but if i did all that stuff i don't think anyone would appreciate it and i would probably get laughed at for having a CF body except for the roof.
