Changing Colors
If I were to take a velocity yellow vette and want it paint Jet Stream Blue......about how much would it cost.....I am in love with the color but i have too many mods on my baby to get rid of her and pick up a jsb the conventional way....Any ideas?

KenHorse just finished painting his black '07 JSB and doing the widebody. Might PM him and ask the cost for the painting.

Yup, I was in the same boat as the OP - had most the mods I wanted (suspension, engine, most of the cosmetics) and it actually made more sense IMHO to do what I did.
Including the GR front end conversion (already had the widebooty done, including wheels and tires a few years ago), it cost me around $10K ($2.5K of which was the front end conversion kit itself from Gene).
One thing about JSB - turns out it is VERY expensive compared to some more "normal" paints as it is a 3 layer paint. The paint alone was around $1500 of the total cost.
But as you see from the pics, well worth it!
