Default Practicality of repainting a new color

Wondering how you guys feel about getting your coat repainted a new tone. I know its rather expensive running upwards of 5k for a good job, but im finding myself beyond tired of PPW and out of options. Any suggestions or ideas on a new coat?

If you paint it a different color, your vehicles resale value drops. If you want to repaint the car because of problems (chips, dents, discoloring), I suggest painting it the same color.

If you are bored of the color, just get a nice body kit, or rims. It'll make your Z look great.

If you don't have any plans of selling the car, I suggest RSP of the 97-98 Toyota Supra's. I had it and it was a very beautiful color.

Good luck.

Casting my vote for British Racing Green, the kind of thing you would find on a Jag or 60's GTO.

If your willing to spend the bucks, goooooooofor it. Just be sure you use a first rate shop. Probably cost a bit more but worth it.
