Hi, I`m a newbie & I need your input.
I got a used car sometime ago. Wasn`t thrilled about the color, but it was in an excellent shape otherwise, and after spending several months looking for the right one, I chose to buy it. The car`s been great, except... I`m getting really, really sick of the color (blueish green or greenish blue, depending on the light).
I`m wondering if it`s worth repainting the whole darn thing, either to dark metallic green or black (I assume it`s harder to paint light on top of darker color..? Otherwise white would do, too.)
My questions are :
- How do I select a good paint shop? Maaco any good?
- How good will the outcome be, assuming I take it to a very good paint shop?
- How close can they match the factory color? I`ve been hearing that they can never match the factory paint job, but have they improved the process recently?
- What is your experience on repainting the car?
- What are some of the things I should know and ask before jumping into this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
