Hi all. As you may have heard, we recently recovered my stolen 914-6 conversion! See more details here:

Not really a 911, of course, but paint is paint, and I wanted to get the 911 community's opinion here?
The car was in a state of "waiting for paint", and I just hadn't gotten around to messing with it yet. Now that I have more time, and we've recovered it, I wanted to make sure I kept the momentum up and got this thing into paint real soon. I also didn't have a good idea of what I wanted it to look like, but I saw an awesome looking 914-6 that had been built into a GT car in the 1970s - this car came up for auction this past year. Here's a photo:
So, in a nutshell, we're looking to replicate this look in my car. The car was originally light blue, but then it was painted black a long time before I bought it. I really want this car to be a driver and not to have a really expensive paint job that I'm constantly going to work about "rock chipping", so I've decided to keep the car two-tone in color in a hope to reduce the cost of a full repaint - Blue Metallic on the outside and keep the black on the inside. I've seen other cars with this, and they look perfectly fine.
Being the engineer that I am, I've created a lengthy RFP (Request For Proposal) for the job with arrows and photos of what I would like done. If you guys have a moment, I would appreciate some feedback, and some input, in case I forgot something.
Here's a link to the PDF:
