I'd 2nd Zieke on this one. They aren't the best though there are worse out there. It's pretty much a budget job after a rebuild or something like that. IMO, primer the whole thing and have them put down a layer of light gray. Clear it three times and then leave it until you have the cash to do as Spike said.
I'd do it with a 3rd gen just because A) it'd fit my budget and B) it wouldn't look out of the ordinary on a 3rd gen rebuild with a high rise cowl induction hood.
