    You can't have cheap and headturning, go for a quality paint (will cost more) but will have a much better result and finish.. as for colour, Tiger Mica is quite good but a bit old now, how about Turismo (Light blue colour on the Monaro)?

    Since your car's already Red you could make it a different kind of red like Sting Red and not really need to do the engine bay and inside the door trims, jams etc. therefore costing less money for paint
