In Reply to: Changing Body Colour ???!!! posted by Big-M on March 17, 2001 at 00:05:02:

to do it right on a car as nice and tightly put together as a BMW i would say between $6 - $8 thousand to do it correctly.there are very few shops that would be interested and fewer that would do it right.besides after all of that investment the car is still only worth the same and possibly less.with the abbundace of black cars out there, just find a nice one!!by the way,i painted cars for ten years.


Ok guys, I need REAL help here...puhleaseeee !

I'm kinda confused and i wanna take a decision now that i've been thinking for a whole month now...

My car's alpina-white... and I simply wanna turn it full-BLACK. (all of it). The stealer would charge me $2,850.
Absolutely none of my friends agreed with me on this issue, and I'm goin nuts... i dunno why... they say that its kinda risky when it comes to selling the car... & that any buyer would hesitate on the merchandise thinking that some sort of theft operation would have been conducted by changing the identity of the car... IS THAT BULLSHIT ? or does it make sense ???

I REALLY wanna change the color.. white is just not me...

would the stealer be able to chagne the color like it's brand new BLACK ? most importantly, would it be ever recognizable after the paint job ???


ALL opinions welcomed guys !

tanksss.
