Empire Z

Need a new paint job!

Guys,

I have a 1990 300ZX Turbo. I like to restore it soon with the helpful advise from people on this forum and possibly meet people from the Empire Z club in Ontario as well.

My car needs a new paint job! It now looks like this. But anyways, first thing first, can anyone help direct me to see who for a good factory looking paint job? I like my Z to look like it's right out from the dealers.

Another thing, there is something wrong with my head lights that cause the relay to turn on randomly and both normal and hi-beams goes on with only the normal current so all 4 bulbs are dim. When the relay turns the lights on randomly, it just drains the battery over night.

My dash is starting to warp so what can I use to glue it back or warp it back?

Besides a crack wind shield, it has a JDM with about 45K miles on it installed 2 years ago with almost 50 miles since then. Oh, the front main seal leaks and the power steering high pressure hose leaks too. Can I get that hose re-built? It still has original Bose speakers and stuff and 2 JVC stereos. It's a nice car when it looked better with a better body.

Pointers?
