Default paint del sol pheonix now, or engine swap?

i'm having trouble deciding... the two things i wanna do to my del sol are h22a swap , but that'll be in februrary, and paint my car pheonix yellow. i just ordered a buddy club body kit sitting in my basement primered ready to be painted, my car is red now, and i want the kit on... should i paint the body kit red to match my car and wait till like summer to paint my car yellow because i'd do it after the engine swap first in februrary, or paint the body kit yellow and get my car painted yellow at the same time... and then wait to get the h22a???

wait on everything and paint the car with the engine out, that way you dont have a yellow car with a red engine bay.

exactly, do it at the same time, paint the engine bay, otherwise you will have the nastiest engine ever lol, red and yellow do not go together.

yea
do what she said
get the swap
if you want slowly build that bitch up while your saving money for the paint
take it with the tow truck to the paint shot and request it back in like 2-3 weeks
OR
pull out the motor, and take it there, get them to spray just under the hood, when you already have your motor, and then take it back to your place, chuck in the h22
and then save more for the paint
