Question About Painting and sl55
Ok so I finally found exactly the sl55 that I want for the right price, the only problem is that it is white, and has white lorinser rims + white body kit. Does anyone know how much it would cost to paint it all black(including rims and kit), and does that bring down the residual value of the car? If it does how much of a hit am I looking at. Also has anyone ever painted theres is there any other downside I should know about. Thanks again!

bleh I would but I can't seem to find an all black 2006 lorinser at a reasonable price. How expensive is it to do the installation on the lorinser rims, body kit, lowering. If i just buy stock black sl55?

Figure $10,000 to $15,000 for a first class paint job.
You can reduce the amount if you are willing to settle for a mediocre to poor finish or if you are willing to leave a lot of the nooks and crannies (e.g. engine compartment, trunk, etc.) in their original white color.
It's not really cost effective.
