A piece of advice that everyone gave me before I painted mine was to strip the old paint off. Well I didn't and it was a big mistake as the old paint made itself known after about 5 years. It's more work but something you can do yourself and it will certainly prolong the new paint's life.

Yea I am really not planning on driving the car every day. I have a ford for that. The only thing I really want to do is to smoke a certin little 80 something mustang that was always trying to race me when the vette was sick. Now I can't seem to find him. Maby he is scard.... 
As for the paint I am going to go with a professional here in town. I saw the job that he did on another vette and it was pretty good. I will have to post a pic when its done. 
Thanks for the clickable link. I was in a hurry and did not have time to figure out how to do it.
