Paint overhaul

Hello,

When I began looking for to buy an RX8 a long time ago I was interested in certain colors, however I was unable to make a good deal on cars with my preferred colors. So I settled with the Nordic green, it's not too bad, but it just doesn't "pop" anymore in my opinion.

What I'm asking is if anyone has ever had the color of their car changed? I know there is more work than usual since they have to paint the trunk lid, inside of the door panels and what not.

If you have had this done, how much did it cost you?

Thanks

cheap side 2k maybe less.
good job 3-5k
show quality, upwards of 10k

all depends on what you want done, color does matter to and brand of paint. Your looking at upwards of 1k just for all of the necessary paint if the color you want is a metallic or has a lot of pearl to it.

If you were worrying about a good deal before you bought the car then you should have just paid 1-2k more for the color you want because you will be out in the long run going this way.

Oh and btw you could have googled this and found the answer becuase people have been repainting cars for years.
