Well since I'm leaving to Europe in december for New Years I'm planning to do that after I come back, plus I won't paint the car if there'll still be snow, so we're looking at the end of February.
Here's a photochop that I did on someones car, hope he doesn't get pissed cause that's the only high resolution pic that I could find.

Found it on matrixowners.com, probably gallery, or some of your posts, sorry about that, but yours was with good resolution
If it'll bother u I can always delete it from here, and don't get the idea to paint it orange

No I'm fine with you posting it.
Just funny to scroll through a forum and see your car in orange.
Yeah, not gonna paint it orange.

What's the paint process when it comes to painting over black? Do they prime it in white first?
Cuz your result would be a lot darker if they painted the orange directly over the black, no?

I'm no painter or nuttin, but I guess they have to sand everything first, I'd have to ask them how the process goes, they painted a lot of my friends cars, for example: '95 Supra - fast and furius replica, and '97 Golf VR6 <-- both in the 2003 Lamborgini Orange, than '96 Integra and '97 Golf VR6 <--- both in Lime Green, 2002 Golf CL <-- Red, a lot of cars, and seen all of them and it looks just gorgeus, I'd trust those guys since I know them and seen their work even from few years ago.
If u wanna know how the process goes I can ask
And forgot that they also have a site, it's nutting but a few pics

Well I just wanted to know the process for your sake. I wouldn't want you to be unhappy if the colour didn't turn out exactly the way you wanted it to. Whether it be darker or lighter than what you thought would be the outcome.

You should also find out if they guarantee their work.
A few years back, my buddy got his GSR painted and about after a week or so his bumper and hood started chipping like mad from stones. It kinda looked like the way nail polish chips off a girl's fingernail.

Yeah, a lot of places like that, people only car for making fast money, that's why u should check out how they work, what warranty they have and also cars that they painted a few months ago, even few years ago, with $3000+ u gotta be sure
