if you're new and jumping in with the C6 another idea if you want is rustoleum 2x coverage sun yellow. It's easy to use, it'll get ya pretty close in visual color, and the can is about $4, if you're in the States. Its what i had in mind when i was gonna do the c5 . for the parts def spray those if you can but one thing to keep in mind on the corvette racers is dry fit stuff til you know how it will go. and once ya glue something give it ample time to rest. a lot of the cage near the rear suspension and what not is pretty measurement sensitive take lots and lots of time. theres some pix of my c5 in my sig. I THINK the c6 guts are similar.
