As far as painting, you really dont need to use primer on it unless you have done some fiberglass work to any of the parts. 1st I use a red scuff pad on the whole body to get rid of any shiney on it. Then I use dupont sealer, and the follow with the base color and then clear. Ive never had any problems. Even crashes and the stuff holds up pretty well. I just did another 03 cobra body, but I made a big cowl hood for it. I have yet to paint the hood on it. Here are some pics of the black one I did and then the yellow one with the unpainted hood. When I did the black car I baked it(after the clear) in the paint booth for like 6 min @110, but I was scared it would get deformed. On the yellow on I just used some PPG fast clear(air dries in 7 min) I wouldnt use anything to bake them though, too risky.
I will be painting the hood at work on monday. I was going to use the 04 cobra Mystic color, but I wanted the car to be bright to see it at night.(which is usually when we run them)
