Lookin for a repaint

Well my black paint is really starting to be a handful cleaninnup and even after so much care it starting to show its age. Im actualky thinkn about either getting it repainted white, or somethin like grabber blue. Maybe even annew coat of triple black. Its a 2002 gt and ive seen so many different colors that look nice. What do yall think??

Kona Blue or Twilight Blue - at least both colors are dark and they would look pretty good on a NE body style IMO.

Before getting really excited about, check around and get a few quotes. Paint costs have risen dramatically over the past few years due to new regulations and such. Wouldn't be surprised if the paintjob ended up being close to $2000, obviously depending and what paint you decide on.

Don't forget if you also want a full color change, its going to be expensive. It also depends on how detailed you want that job to be...IE: engine bay, door jams, trunk, etc.

The door jams are easy, its the engine bay that's difficult because you obviously have to pull the motor and do quite a bit more work to it. So in other words, its cheaper to paint the same color if you want the entire car to match.

The Azure Blue on the New Edge Mach 1s is similar to Grabber Blue depending on the angle - that could give you a idea of how it would look on your car.

Yea very true, well some colors look good contrasting each other so im gonna leave the engine bay alone. Just gonna worry bout door jambs and trunk as for small details.

Starting out black, you'll be fine with whatever color you want to do. Engine bay will look better black. I'd do the jambs though. I would stick to a non-metallic color; if you ever get in an accident and need a metallic color matched, it is harder, especially if your car didn't come from the factory that color.
