skyline1 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Really am toying with the idea of having my car resprayed in black just purely because i think it would look awesome in black. there aint anything wrong with my paintwork , infact id say its in perfect condition , no rust no scratches at all. only part of the car that would probably be left white would be the engine bay..may get a price on doing the strut tops and wing tops to suit. Wouldnt sell the car and just buy a black one as i know ive got a good car and would hate it if i ended up with a nail. its a facelift supra VVTI tiptronic on a V reg so one of the last models to be made, currently with 50,000 on the clock, full BPU ,Uk spec brakes .without going in to the full spec i just purely want to know if this is the sort of thing that would have a impact on the cars value if i was to ever sell it. http://just.razzi.me/photos/996818/b6c4cd1.jpg http://just.razzi.me/photos/996817/0c4688f.jpg http://just.razzi.me/photos/996812/6888f8b.jpg http://just.razzi.me/photos/996810/98d400b.jpg Maybe some of the photo guru's can help me out , i can just really picture the car in black, will even pay a photo guru that can work with the pictures and change the coulour to give me a idea.

Benjy Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 why would it devalue it? The only cars I've struggled to sell are white cars. Plus black is the fastest colour.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yes, unless its a full bare metal job. 95% of the car will be done , and possibly the engine bay so not much white will be seen if any is either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure really just didn't know if I'd be ruining my car by changing the colour. It's a awesome car abit special too I think and abit rare to come by in the condition .

skyline1 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 A lot would depend on how good a job is done Oh it would be a good job , I'd use the same guy that has done all the smoothing over of the boot lid and all my other paint work so know I'd be getting a good job done at a good price too.

LOGIE Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Personally id leave it as is. Black and white are the two most popular/desirable colours. Try doing some suttle changes if you want to give your car a new look ie wheels,lips etc. If you must change the colour get it WRAPPED but do it professionally, then when you've had enough of the black you can peel it off.

j_jza80 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 A lot would depend on how good a job is done As above. I'd be looking for photos of the prep/paintwork being done to a very high standard, culminating in a perfect paint job and some VERY expensive receipts. If your cars paintwork is as good as you're claiming, you'd be barmy to remain it. You'd be much better selling your car for a premium and buying a rougher one to respray.

I got Quoted £1500 to wrap the car and it can be resprayed for less than that by my mate . Don't like the idea of wrapping either as I had my old skylines roof wrapped and when I got bored and removed it paint came off with it .

True I guess mate that's why I can't make a decision to just do it , there is nothing wrong with the paint work so no real excuse to go ahead and have a respray , just preference really.
