With a scotch pad and paint thinner it could be done in a couple hours max. Remember they will feed off other companies, tell you them you have a sign shop willing to do their graphics anyway they like, etc.

JTuned has a great article on getting sponsors, i can't access their site from work but i'll find the link tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it...
I just found the article you mentioned... that was pretty good. I think I meet sponsorship requirements, given how actively involved I am in the car scene around Atlanta and the drifting scene overall. I'm usually out every weekend at meets or doing something car related, I attend drift events on an almost monthly basis, and have various types of media content (videos, and pictures) including my car.

As far as painting the car goes, I'd love to paint it Satin black. Unfortunately my doors are a beat to hell and the car needs some minor body work (new fittings on the fenders, and a new grill). I'd rather not paint the car only to ruin the new paint whenever I get the time (and money) to get the body fixed.
