forget what everyone is telling you and paint it FLAME RED!!! lmao no but i think silver i a lot nicer than white, white just doesn't look that great to me. if you're gonna paint it a completely different color i'm sure its going to take a hell of a lot of work and money compared to repainting your car the same color. I got a quote to repaint my whole car (i'm hopefully gettin a kit by my birthday in feb.) and to repaint it all the same color it was gonna be around 1800. it also depends on the color, for example white paint is cheaper than a lot of other colors. I saw a neon at a car show once that was white (originally yellow) and it look horrid. I have pics but i'm at school and they're at home. You will have to match the color under the hood as well if you want it to look good. Black neons are damn sexy (behind red of course) just look at mikey's car

Could you post/send me those pics when you can?
What makes the colors hard to maintain? I know that black takes a ton of washing/waxing to keep it looking great. Does white yellow over time? o_o
And I have three dents in my car's body, all from the previous owner, they weren't taken care of so they rusted quite a bit. One of them only scraped paint off and I feathered it out and you seriously can't tell it's there with the new touch up paint I put on it. The other two are going to need work...

Mikey's car looks damn sexy *drool*. I'd looked through all of his pictures when he first posted them and they made me consider black paint. D:

Don't paint it black, it shows every imperfection and ding.
What if there's no dings or imperfections in it to begin with? Snap.
That's like saying your cars fast. It's just not going to happen...
