Hey 914World

This is my first post as I am new to the site. I am 17 years old and decided to take on a 914 project. The car was stripped down when I bought it but came with almost enough parts to build 2 cars minus the second body. I am finishing up the metal work and am looking into painting in the next couple weeks. I am going to paint all the interior of the car myself but I think I will let the shop take care of the exterior. I was just wondering what a decent price is coming from your experiences. There is a few small dents to be worked on and then probably 2 colours of base coat, clear coat paint. Any idea of the cost to expect from the shop? Anything I should ask that most first timers forget?

Also I realize the Bumblebee is an LE car. I like the look of the black and yellow but I didn't know what the 914 community thinks of painting a regular 914 like this. I like the look but I don't want to try to be a poser I guess is what I am saying. So is painting it black any yellow fair game or do I look into other colours?

I have ten months till my high school graduation. Thats going to be its debut!

Thanks,

Clow
