I'll be keeping mine OB, love the color, but hate the upkeep. Malbec Black is probably the choice for my next.

I've owned a few black cars, so that was enough for me.
The last 4 cars I've owned have been gray, like the Graphite Shadow I have now.
I'm happy with that color, since it is dark enough to show a good wax job, but not so dark that it looks dirty an hour after you clean it up.
If I couldn't have got the GS I probably would have went with the Blue Slate.
Red cars draw too much attention, that's why they are called Ticket Red.

Man. Getting a paint job won't be cheap at all. Mines cost $5500.00 and thats considered cheap already. The higher end color will cost even more.

Will getting it painted ever look as good as the factory paint jobs? I have heard if you want a new color, it's more economical to just sell your car and buy a G in the color you want.

it all depends on the shop you take it to and to be honest our factory paint isn't very good to begin with. selling your car to get another is always an option except you'll lose crap loads of money.

thanks!

you should do it but before you do you gotta make sure your shop is willing to paint everywhere including door jams, trunk areas etc. my shop only agreed on painting my door jams. everything else is left IP but that's okay since my new paint is still white.

I was quoted $3000~4000 to respray either in the same color or Montego blue. I imagine Lambo white will be a bit more.

Hey P, have you ever considered vinyl wrapping the car?
That way if you ever sell things can go back to stock color with ease.
Cheaper/quicker than full paint also.
