But I wouldn't want to open the door of a black car and see blue. __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.

No I meant changing the color of your car. not color changing paint. If you go silver to black you'll be looking at about a week and 3500 dollars.

If you change color they pretty much have to strip the car. on a same color they just paint the outside. example opening a the door of a black car and seeing a silver dorr jam __________________ Scion Tc-strup racing header, CAI, Ground Kit, NOS 100shot, Custom suspension, Doc.

dude, the reason its so expensive, is because they have to paint the ENTIRE car. everything from inside engine bay, to inside sills. inside trunk. the entire frame. or youll look like a dumbass with multicolor parts.

you could get a gallon of dupont or ppg paint for like 3 - 400 bones... not too much.... it all depends on the color you want
