Paint job maybe?
Soooo. i'm thinking about investing in a paint job for my car. I have red right now and looking to change to a charcoal color or whatever that dark purple is. Does anyone have pics of these colors? maybe the charcoal(dark grey) with black wheels? thanks. and whats the least i should pay for a paint job?

A complete restoration involves removing the engine and painting the engine bay. Lots of man hours - big bucks. Painting seldom adds value to the car. A non-OEM color will hurt resale. That is why members trade for a different color rather than paint.

AS marques1 mentioned - about $5,000.

First, is your car paid off. If not pay your damn car off first.
secondly, if your car is paid off post in the regional forum and post a thread. See if anyone will do a direct trade, your red 350 for their silverstone 350. Understand that depending on the mileage or the condition of the cars you may have to put money on top or they might have to. If the cars are in about the same condition and mileage just do a direct trade with them.

well, then you probably should be putting that 5,000 dollars you are trying to put towards your paint job in paying your car off, lol. I think it is so funny people mod their cars and can't even pay their car off. Anyhow, it is your money so do what you want with it. Waste it, burn it....whatever your heart desires. You could also send it to me so i can double that money, lol.
Not trying to be an *** but you should be putting that money towards paying your debt off. Coming from a person that bought my first house at the age of 21 years old.

Doesn't matter what your color is on the outside, once you paint it and open the hood it's always the original color. Unless you R&R engine and everything else that gets in the way), it's always the original color.
