Preference some want to detail and wax the vehicle like me! Gives the colour a much deeper colour and shine! Vinyl is a bit more maintenance free but doesn't look as good IMO

i am going to get a white or black (not sure yet) 370 soon. and i were to keep the car for a long time, say 10 years down the road i want to get repainted (the same color)...

1. will it look the same as factory, or at least very close to it?

2. it will cost today (before inflation) 8-10k?

1 - yes it will very close to it, if not better depending on the shop you have do it. It also depends on if you chose a factory colour. Some guys like to change it a bit say you like a different cars black over the black Nissan has you could very easily change the colour because they are very similar, but if you were say trying to go red after being black then it would be more because much more work would be needed to get everything that colour.

2 - It will not cost 8-10k to respray the car the same colour (OEM or another car makes colour) the base is already there for them to work on top of. The 8-10k is if you were going with a change in colour like black Z to a red or white Z, or if it was a crazy custom colour like green etc..... there's a lot more work involved to complete change a vehicles colour and it will hurt the resale value to when the colour is completely changed for another.


Hope that somewhat helped

yes thank you very much. the idea i have is more from my step dad. he has had a 78' corvette and 2002 viper that he has kept in pretty pristine condition, even repainting the vett. so the idea is to get the 370z and still have it look nice 10 years from now. i think its pretty feasible, for example replacing the leather seats down the road when needed also one day.

thanks again.

buying a new car and painting it another oem color that is available for the same car is plain stupid. Especially when the car is NOT that rare.

If done properly, this is correct. Also bear in mind that changing your car's original color will devalue it.

im 99.98% sure i would never want to change the color. just get it back to looking new if i were to keep the car 10-20 years, but the same color though.
