Thanks for all the great comments guys. I have no plans to paint anyone eleses car... no matter how much cash is thrown at me. I am way to much of a perfectionist and it would take me forever to get another car done. I'm still waiting for the bumpers to be done. I can't wait for the MSA west coast show this year. I'm wondering how many early modle Z's will have this new color. Thanks again guys

Where did you buy the paint?? I have been thinking of a color to paint my car that isnt red, and I really like that sunset orange. How much did it cost per gallon?

Hi Justin, I got the paint at a store about 2 miles from my house. Its an automotive paint store, so thats all they do. I got PPG and it cost me over 600 dollars for one gallon. I could have painted the car with 2/3 of a gallon but now I have lots of extra paint. I did a little shopping around before I bought my paint and another store in my area wanted 900 buck for a gallon of the same paint. the $600 got me everything I needed for the paint job (except the spray gun and the booth). There are less expensive paints out there (in the same color) but I wanted the best and I wanted it to last a looooong time. If you have any other questions please let me know.
