914 6 Paint Options

I have to paint the car, something I've never done. What paint is correct for showing? I'm starting read about paint. I'll start taking the car apart over the winter.

Color change is acceptable to Judges I think. Can someone verify that please.

Thanks from the newbie. Say, when to I loose the newbie title? After a restoration? LOL

Thanks Guys!

I need to re address this. I'm not going to paint it, rather I am looking for a painter. I want to know about the paint to use? Do's and don'ts of project. Where to focus. The paint escapes me completely.

Having done some paint, and having paid to have the job done... I can offer this small piece of advice.

Find a paint guy who's work you appreciate and you can trust... then trust him. If he knows what you're going for, he'll choose materials appropriately.

Not all paints lay down the same way. Don't box your paint guy into a corner insisting he use Product X. He may have a style and talent that works best with another paint product... and you'll be far happier in the end.

kind regards,
