Complete Repaint to Different Color?
 

I'm toying with the idea of going from Pearl White to Monterey Blue. I love my Pearl White with the Persimmon Interior but I think the Monterey Blue + Persimmon looks really sharp as well.

Has anyone ever had their 370Z or 350Z completely repainted including all the non-displayed areas of the body panels? I am curious as to what such a (quality) paint job costs and the average turn-around time?

It's a crazy idea that, in no way would ever make any financial sense. In fact, it would de-value your car in the long run. If you are hell bent on changing the color, you'd be better served (at least financially speaking) to choose a custom color that Nissan does not offer. Otherwise, it'll come off as a collision repair or a brain fart -- the latter being what you described.

:iagree:. That's a lot of money, and I'd choose a totally different color!

:tup:

Be unique!
Don't be a follower be a trend setter mayne!

Another way to look at it would be to sell your car, take the hit, and buy a Monterrey Blue replacement (perhaps gently used or a 2009 holdover). You can take the money you'd spend on a re-paint and put it into buying (or better, trading, the seats) if you can't find one with Persimmon interior.

I guarantee you will make out better in the long run, if not in the immediate transaction.

lambo orange :D love that color

Lamborghini Blue... Love It!!

I agree, different color or something custom...

I vote the purple that Vishnu paints on their cars.

What if painting your entire car the same color but a different shade so you don't have to paint the hidden parts?

my car is repainted lambo gunmetal

If you want the Monterey Blue, just trade your car without de-valuing it so much.

You'd spend $4-5k for a good paint job and you're car will be worth $4-5k less as well! It wouls work out to the same as trading it in for a new one, so either do something custom that you love, or find a slightly pre-owned and you'll be better off!

Agreed. The best is just to find a way to be happy with what you got. For just some of the money you'd spend repainting and devaluing, you could get some top-line black wheels - they work well with white IMHO.

or you can get it vinyl wrapped...
