to paint or not to paint?

[EastBayStang98]

ok i know this is gonna be in a while but i wanted to get some opinions on getting my car painted another color...ive always wanted a white sn95 coupe but i ended up getting a deep green satin...i mean the color is nice but it doesnt get my attention like white sn's do...theres is a car on here i belive its a 94 or 95 cobra thats white and has black saleens on that looks sick...thats what i would like mine to look like...id rather paint my car than to get a new one just i got attached to it and because my car is in very good shape for 136000 miles...im looking into two colors...one is called white suede and is in use on the fusion and some lincolns and the other one is a s197 color called pefermance white...so should i or should i keep it dgs?

keep the dgs, its a pita to change to a lighter color.

door jams and engine bay, might not match.

i agree dont paint it sell it and start with the color you want.. cheaper/nicer in the long run!

i am not a fan of green. that was my color and then i painted it this baby shit looking color but mine is in the shop now or has been for like two weeks getting painted black. i like dark colors

My car used to be dark forest green, and I just got through painting it Kona Blue, with performance white racing stripes. It's simple, but time consuming to repaint the entire car. If you knew how to paint your own car, and had the equipment it would be fairly easy to do. Of course, I wouldn't re-paint the car if it didn't at least have a custom hood, or bumper.

I painted my dads SN95 crystal white, with blue racing stripes, it looks great. White would definetly be a good choice in color.

+1 on selling it. Likely, the cost of the paint job will be greater than the cost of finding a similar car with the color you want in excellent paint condition. Plus, then you get to sell your current car to offset some cost.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

Yeah, sell the car if you have absolutely no paint knowledge... I paint cars, so it only cost me about $400 dollars to repaint my entire car, door jambs and all...

id pimp out my sister... save my green. and paint it mystic.... but thats just what id do



selling it sounds good too.

if you want a new look and dont want to hassel with the door jams and under the hood just go with a 2 tone. like dfg on bottom and black on top or something?!

+1 that way its easy, simple, cheep, and isnt frowned upon.
