I vote you guys go with a two tone. Like Gerry Coker said in that interview about that being the reason for the styling change. For us flamboyant Americans to be able to have a clean line to follow whith the paint. That's just me though. If I could I'd probably chrome the whole car and etch in some ghost flames LOL :smile:
 
Talk to a body shop close to you. Most of them will spray the finish coat for a reasonable amount. The prep work is where the money comes in.

It's my understanding that a lot of states and Canadian provinces have now outlawed a lot of the paints we used to be able to get and use easily. The environmentalists are clamping dowm hard and for example trying to do Healey Blue in a waterborne paint with its slower flash off time is a problem.

Its going to be awhile before the states really clamp down on the backyard paint spayer(unless your neighbor calls because you exhausted your garage out the side and all over their car). Be sure to follow dirrections!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the paint, and related products. If the step is recommended, its for a reason. Water is coming fast enough to the big shops, but don't feel you absolutely have to get on board with it. Unless your from Putney Vermont, then anything GREEN is good.
