You can always go with the stuff they sell at Parts stores nowadays. It's that single stage Duplicolor or something like that. It's pretty darn cheap. But...if I were you, I would just get the paint I really wanted (more expensive stuff) and be happy with it forever and not have to re-prep the whole car over again when you finally make the switch to it.

Just got word from a buddy that involved in this new site that they want to feature my car.
What makes their site different then most stanceworks type sites is that they dont just focus on the car, they focus on the build and they owner/driver/builders.
Heres they teaser
Ill be the first real feature

Not really sure you understand how demanding a top mount turbo track car will be mate, hope you're thinking this out!

I like your build, but I did notice you talking about "the track" quite a few times. What measures have you taken to make this car driveable on the track? Being that this is a turbo car, what class do you plan on racing? Do you have any track experience?

I dont plan to compete at any level with this car. The only road racing it will be doing is HPDE track days. Also would like to get some auto-x, small parking lot drift events in if I have the money.
If I had to come up with a main reason I'm building this car is to be able to get in it no matter what and it bring a smile to my face. And thats already starting to happen and Its not even done.
