So I've been doing some body work on my 2003 tl-s it's the dark emerald color, and rather than get it patched up, I decided Id rather do a color swap.
so I need some suggestions guys, I just can't decide

I personally love a clean looking white car, and with the blacked out headlight housings it would look great imo.. but I'm also considering the cement grey color that come on scion tc's... let me know your opnions guys, pics would be awesome as well

 

Never change paint color. It's one of those jobs that takes a long time, costs a lot and decreases value.
IMHO - That green is one of the sweetest colors.

 

on a 13+ year old car decreasing the value is something i would NOT be worried about.

As for cost, it all depends on who you know or if you are able to do it yourself. Yes, a complete paint job like that will/should cost 3k+ but if you are capable or know someone that can do the work for a case of beer materials will run you 3-600 (or higher if you get suckered into the best of the best) depending on color and brand.

 

Greens are back in. Get fancy and go with a lighter shade of green/gray and put a black candy over it. I just painted mine Fords Guard (green)

 

I agree the green looks good, but ive just never been a fan of it.. i have family that owns a body shop and they do good work.. thats why i decided to do a color swap.. theres no way id spend that kind of money on an older car like this
