Do you know it's an original Cobra and not a kit car or continuation series car?
What is the CSX chassis number?
Has the car ever been repainted?
Do you know if it's a lacquer, acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, or perhaps something else?
Working on an antique paint job is unlike working on a modern day paint job. You can't just say "wet sand and buff", as you may not be able to use even a 3,000 grit wet/dry automotive sandpaper on certain paints without damaging the finish". Same goes for buffing the same. Perhaps instead you'll want to use a different grit buffing compound long before you use a polishing compound. Then again, and quite honestly, if you can't place a value, in regards to a simple estimate on doing the work, perhaps you are not the right guy to do the job in the first place.
