Hi! My 91 is red/black, has many, but minor, paint chips everywhere. The paint is very decent for the age, and most people still mistake it for a "new car." So in other words, the paint is still very good.
Here's the idea. I have a extra bit of cash to spare, and it will go towards the car. I've done all the basic engine mods + suspension. I'm thinking about having the car repainted. I like the original red/black color, but i absolutely love the SPA YELLOW. So i'm considering repainting it to that color, but I've never owned a car with a total repaint in a different color before, so was wondering if there are any thiing that I need to know other than requesting to have the door jabs and internals painted as well.
I have no problem with the people doing the paint because I've had them done another car before and the paint was really really spectacular. I had the guy paint my 1990 300zx black, ,came out showroom shine, cost about $3500.
I was just wondering if anyone had any opinion about repainting the whole car, especially since it's a totally different color. I've never owned a repainted car long-term, i'm not sure what the long-term effects might be.
Also, the car will be a keeper, so I'm not too concern about it affecting its "resale value."
Thanks. any suggestions + opinions is appreciated.
