I got VHT at Auto Zone years ago, but they don't carry it anymore. I just ordered black, yellow, and clear yesterday from California custom Coatings for $7 and some change each. Here's a pic after 2 years and lot's of track days. I got the labels from a place called xenonmods or something like that.
I sanded, cleaned, painted 4-5 coats of yellow, stickers, several coats of clear, and baked in the oven at 300 for 30 min. the rubber plugs I used to keep the brake fluid in lasted for 29 minutes......

Did you end up stripping all the old paint before you resprayed? I'm having quite a time removing all the original paint.
