Does anyone know what the charge is for just the 300 grit finish? what finished would be consider paint ready? There's a painter located just 30 miles from me that is rather well know for painting cobra's, his work is really top notch. I love the brushed look but sometimes I feel I will miss detailing the car and seeing a color just pop.

Really, the decision is up to you. Whatever you want is really what you should get. Don't let anyone else make the decision for you--you have to live with the car in the end.

If you are going to paint the car, just get it in the filed finish.

If you are really considering a car in the near future, you need to place the order ASAP. We are now sold OUT through February 2014. (We took a deposit for 6 cars this week alone). We have customers we are working deals with that may put our deliveries out much further.

Finally, we are strongly considering a price increase--very soon.
