I'm kind of thinking it's just cheaper to do H/C/I and call it done.
cheaper isn't better,

Yeah, I know.

My luck is I'd throw $9,500 into a well built 416ci stroker and end up blowing out the rear end.

I'll never sell the Camaro though - they would have to coexist side by side..
That car is going to be a blast. Nearly 100HP more than my current 16 WRX, still AWD and still a M6. If it wasn't for the price tag, I would consider trading the Subbie for it. It's nearly 13K more than what I paid for my subbie.

So I used the dr colorchip and it's pretty good depending on where you're doing it. I could do another coat or two to try and make them a bit smoother but it works pretty well
