Possibly thinking about repainting car

So I hear that repainting an entire vehicle costs about $5000. Well, I was reading through the forums today, and a quart of Milano Red is $200. Need about 2 gallons to paint the car so thats about $1600 for paint itself. You guys think it's doable? Get a professional to help pain the entire car Milano Red using the products of express paints? Just a thought. Because if it's doable, I'm saving my money for this year's project.. This is what I have in mind:

Milano Red Paint
CF Grille
Black/Black-Chrome emblems
CF window trims
Full Body Aero Kit or Mugen Kit (Which is JUST a thought =))
Dropped on tein or megan racing coilovers
bmw m3 competition package rims look alikes
Exhaust/bigger muffler for a more throaty sound

.... Of course, this would have to be a year to two year long project and that parts will come if money permits... hahaha.... how does that sound? Well, at least for the paint first? =D

No one here is against milano red so do it if you want. We all have our imaginary lists of how we want our car to look, but doing it and getting it done is a totally different story. Post some pics of your progession.

You would probably save money by just selling your car and buy a Milano red.

Except Milano Red is not offer for 2G TSX in North America, the color is available on Honda Accord in Asia and Europe only.
