Paint gets a little more complicated as it depends on schedules. My "day job" is at a shelby mustang parts and restoration shop and cobra builder/dealer. Whatever I/we can't do ourselves, we have several very good people/shops that we work with that can do it. They are usually quite busy, but I can sneak stuff in from time to time.
For example, this first top is getting color matched (customer sent in gas door) with a Dupont camera system and sprayed in a 250k downdraft climate controlled booth just down the road from me ... but I have to bring it in completely prepped so the shops owner just has to pull the trigger on the gun after hours and I must pick it up the next morning. I can get great results for good prices, but it all comes down to timing and I may not always be able to fit it in. Painting will likely be an unadvertised option that we address case by case.

Late welcome from another CR.net guy.
BTW, just a suggestion. You should switch to a 3rd brake light from a Miata, or maybe a 6th gen Toyota Celica. The one you have on there almost looks like its from a trailer?

We used the OEM brake light originally, but strayed away from it because it complicated the install procedure, especially from people who would plan to use the top seasonally and need to swap out the stock trunk lid more often. We are now ditching the mid-trunk light for an LED strip that mounts inside the top of the rear window.
