a little advice on paint?, rusty 914 back to life midway... Options

[adiokyro]

hiya--
have my 73 914 2.0 over at mcmarks, (i bought this car off ebay and was way more rusty than advertised).
--i bought conedodgers monster motor!!
---I am (gulp) 10k into rust repair and chassis stiffening. (it was really bad)

NOW--it is going to paint. I want to get a great paint job, but must be under 10k. the painter suggests single stage paint and ive read there are advantages, BUT I really like the bling of 2 stage, and I have rechromed the bumpers and am running polished fuchs.
---so any advice on paint for a 914? general cost of a good job, brand/paint systems, and whether to go with single or multi stage?

car will be kept in a garage, occasionally auto crossed and tracked.

--------I am so farther into this car financially than i ever expected but.....well.....i hope i have a lot of fun. ive wanted a 914 sine i was 12yo (im 43) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

the cost of the job depends on the condition of the car and what you want in the end. To keep it lower cost and good quality I use PPG's Shop Line. It's about 1/2 the cost of Deltron which is the high end PPG. Single stage isn't going to be all that much cheaper and requires more maintenence. Single vs 2 stage makes no difference with " bling " factor.
