Paint or not to Paint...
Currently I have a black RX8 that has about 100,000 kms and the paint is starting to show its age. A Respray is in order, but I am debating a complete change of color. I was debating a color like this:
Any opinions?

It's a cool color, tho I don't know that I'd ever pick it. But if you like the color and have a good shop do it, it should look great.

Looks sorta like the orange on the supra in the fast and the furious. I wouldnt go with it though. Maybe a dark blue so you wouldnt have to bother repainting the inside pieces too.

You are going to repaint a black car orange? What price range are you looking at? I should think, to do it right, you would virtually have to disassemble the car to do the door jambs and engine bay. Most of the time, with a respray, you don't repaint those areas as they get much less wear. If you pop your hood to have the black inside or door jamb lines or the metal behind the lights, it won't look top notch. The price involved gets pretty high.

I would do it if I had the money, and it's gonna take a god chunck of change. Complete color change with jams and under hood and trunk lid is a lot. I might consider going a little bit darker in that color. As to not be too loud. darker would eminate a bit more class/taste and not be so ricey on the car. But do what you want and enjoy. Be sure to post pic's of the end result.

I think the car looks awesome in orange. I'd kinda be interested to see what it looked like in gold too
