Despite my best effort to preserve my 2003 Chrome Silver's paint, it is starting to look like A$$. I had planned on getting a bodykit and doing a complete repaint.

If I repainted only the exterior to liquid aluminum (2004 year special color), would it looks weird? (remaining chrome silver paint in door jams, engine bay...etc). Both are silver-shade paints and I had thought they look similar (except liquiud aluminum is more reflective).

 

I'm on the same boat as you, and would like to know also

 

Engine bay is not even chrome silver if you look at it. I dont think it would look that good in the jams /hatch area if you didnt just paint the whole car that color.

 

95% of the mass public would likely not notice the difference.

And how often do you have your doors/hood open?

 

wouldnt really b visble, but u'd definately notice and eventually b unsatisfied w/ it, hence being ur caar and all. i say if ur going through all the trouble of repainting ur entire car, y not just go the extra mile and do the jams. nuthin much more than sum extra taping off 2 do.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do some number crunching to see if I should get it repainted or trade it in for a 07 (in some other different color)
