do your modding first then you won't have to worry about knicking fresh paint while building your dream car.. paint it last

Primer isn't sleeper. Primer is trailer park.

Just leave it with ugly paint. Don't primer it until you're ready to paint it.

I said paint cause once you start modding you won't have the money to paint, 1k for paint isn't anything to the money it will cost to mod it

no matter what shape or condition the paint is in doesn't make it fast , it can have a flashy paint job and be slow as s*** i rocked the black/gray primer for a year before i painted mine .i kinda wished i waited to paint it till i got my mods done but you have that so now i got to be real careful while i put it together .
