Hi all,

After a year of hunting for parts to do a kouki conversion, I've finally gotten all the parts, but I have a few questions to ask before actually going through with the conversion.

I was telling my coworker about repainting my S14 Aspen Pearl White and he mentioned that I should really go buy the original factory paint, for the paint will last only a good 5 years before it goes to utter crap. Is this actually true? Or is he just being

?

When I do finally get the car painted, does it need to stay covered? I dont' really have a garage right now, because its full of well, furniture at the moment. Is it better if I keep it in the garage, out of element's way?

I live in the Bay Area, and am looking for shops to get my S14 painted. My friends have pointed me to H&H in Oakland, so is that a good place to go? Any other suggestions on where to go?

Lastly, how much should painting the car cost me? Sorry for all these noob questions, I've been lurking around these forums long enough - my friends are telling me to start posting my questions. Thanks in advance guys!
