DO NOT DO A COLOR CHANGE!. To do it right, you have to strip off every piece of trim on the car, pull all of the interior trim around the door openings, and also pull every wiring loom, hose, etc. from the engine compartment (so the fender aprons and radiator support can be painted). To just respray it black, you won't have to mess withe the engine compartment and some of the interior and exterior trim. Do you know who's going to paint it for you?

I say porsche seal gray... like that super hot audi I posted a few weeks back. Do a search on google for seal gray audi a4 and it'll come up prolly.

Jeebus though... a good paint job costs like 3000 bucks. an amazing paintjob, even more.

If you take off EVERYTHING yourself... mirrors, trim, door handles, grill, whatever the hell else has to be taken off... it might save a little bit. Who knows. To get paint that equals quality of OEM costs thousands.

Why not just get a high speed polish done on your current paint?
