Obviously changing the entire car colour will be more expensive, but since I am having 75% of the exterior replaced and painted anyways I would think now would be the ideal time?
I'm leaning heavily towards either a dark gunmetalic (GT-R) colour or doing a matte silver.
Something that doesn't show scratches or dirt, I'm really sick of having to wash my car 2x weekly(currently black) just so it doesn't look filthy.
Any thoughts or price estimates?
Thanks

Re-painting a car slaughters value in my book. I would just leave it alone and trade up to a model you like better in due time. If you plan on being buried in the car, sure, spend the $4-6K it will take to do a color change, but otherwise, why?
No, MAACO and the like won't do a color change correctly, lol It's going to COST. The engine, all the under-hood stuffings, the interior, everything must come out. Not cheap. Not guaranteed to go back in the same.
