Yowsers! I'd certainly like to spend that much, but just can't. One thing the paint supply place I talked to recommended was to maybe go with a slightly cheaper paint and a better clear.

That can work. What brand are you using for paint? Ive used Limco basecoat and covered it with RM clearcoat and im getting ready to do it again because it worked so well. I would say check with the paint rep to make sure that they will work alright together and not cause you any problems down the road. Just because both products are made by the same parent company (Limco/RM/Glasurit in my case all owned by BASF) doesnt mean that you can mix the 3 brands and have a long lasting paint job. Id say just make sure you really do the research on it. You would hate to have a bad solvent pop issue or fisheyes or bad adhering because of something like that.

Probably PPG, but I've yet to settle on anything in the paint department. Heck, I'm still mulling over a color change.
