i just need an advice on should i change my color from black pearl to white pearl yes or no. black gets way too much dirty and wash my car about once a month i am working 55 hours a week. if yes do you guys know any good shop for repainting around conyers area. thank you for the help.

 

it will cost you too much since you SHOULD paint the engine bay, door sills and part of the trunk where the paint is exposed. PLan on spending 4-6k for a quality paintjob.

You are better off trading it, not a great option, but better.

or just deal with it.

 

^plus, white needs to be washed a lot too

 

^ White looks pretty crappy when dirty as well.

A full paint job is not really worth it, IMO. Too expensive.

 

If you like wasting money, go for it.

Otherwise, find the time (5 minutes) to wash your car more often.

 

repaint = waste of $$$$

 

No.

And unless you plan on running the car into the ground, good luck explaining it away to a suspicious next-buyer to keep them from wondering what hidden damage or accidents you're trying to cover up.

 

Don't do it unless you are prepared to do it properly. As dallsion mentioned there is far more involved than merely painting the exterior surfaces. Door jambs, inners, under hood and deck lid, and inside door surfaces need to be done. Door panels, trim pieces, insulation, and some mechanical components need to be removed. Have you ever seen a car where someone has performed a color change and left the firewall the existing colour? Not pretty.

Not saying it can't be done, but to do it correctly would exceed the value of your car.

Dude, it takes five minutes to run through a car wash at a gas station.

You'd have to wash the car 1000 times to break even on a re-paint.

 

Turn your car in and trade for a silver color...even my blaze orange metallic RSX stayed clean for a while without looking dirty!

 

One option you could do is just to get a vinyl overlay for the car in whatever color you want. Not the best, but I'm assuming it's quite a bit cheaper than painting the car.

 

Just don't do it.

 

Useless especially if the paint is in good shape and there's no actual reason to repaint any of the panels aside from your dislike of the OEM colour. Just chalk it up and don't buy black the next time you shop for a car.
