why the repaint? looking for something diff? bored of the color?

A two tone scheme would look nice. like the Stlillen G but with better colors

if you're going to waste your $ repainting a brand new car, you might as well go with a custom color or scheme. if you're unhappy, trade in for something different?

Get some different like Midnight Purple. Or try to get the old Blue that the Skyline GTR 34's use to come in. That's still one of my favorite colors.

At least 3k, that's if you get a good deal, there's so much labor in repainting a car different color. Don't forget for a quality job, they have to pull the motor so they can paint the engine bay.

For a full color change the correct way doing door jams and the firewall and everything with labor and putting back together your looking at least $7,500-8,000k..........

If you get the car repainted, you better plan to keep it for a long time, because it will not be worth as much.

Do you guys know how much it costs to just paint a front BUMPER? and do i have to bring it to the Nissan Dealer to get this done? I'm scared other places might not have the right shade of black.

Dude, the one thing I get the most compliments about on my car is the color!!!! EVERYONE I meet just raves about the color, and how unique and awesome it is. Why would you want anything other than blue slate?!?!?

Baroker: It should be no more than $600 IMO.... You could take it to a reputable shop, they should be able to match the paint dead nuts... Got my bumper repainted at a good shop (Holmes Body Shop) and the match was great...
