Painting Car

I been debating if i should keep my car brilliant silver or paint it a different color, but i can't decide on a color. If you guys could paint your cars another color, what color would u paint it, show a picture of the color if you can.

Because it's highly reflective and can blind someone?

never heard of it being illegal, but the only thing that comes to mind is reflections distracting other drivers. sun, lights, etc. someone on E46fanatics has a chrome widebody M3.

At the last auto show I went to in October, there were several concept/show cars done in a copper color including Saleen's 500K car. One production car that used a similar color was the '06 Honda Element and they called it Tangarine. This would make your's unique.

Ive always thought about another color for my C,but im scared of the paint quality. I heard there is nothing comprable to OEM Factory Paint. How much is a full paint job anyway? A good one.

For a good paint job , it can be expensive. when you get into a change of color, there is alot of work, like totaly taking apart the car to paint all the exposed areas.( door jams , inner trunk, etc.) and also experience comes into play. A excellent aftermakrker paint job will blow oem paint out of the water! You will also spend close to or more than $8,000 . And that will be for your basic color. ( not added pearl coats etc.)
