When i get tired of this, i can take it off and then i'll have my beautiful black back. My car is all original MB paint and if you have ever been in the car buisness you will know that a painted car is worthless, you may find someone who dosent know anything about cars that will buy it but taking it to the auction or any dealer that is a specialty dealer as soon as they see the paint work you are cooked. marcus you are right on the money. besides if you paint it and you get chips or a scratch or whatnot there is a high chance it wont match up right. me i'll just redo whatever panel i want haha.

painting a car does not make a car worthless... i have yet to see any free cars being given away due to it having been painted. its not like we are talking about a rare original paint model T..
painting your car will devalue it no less than having a reported fender bender on it.

I remember one of the member painted the whole car from silver to white for $6k...... who also just did the 63 conversion. Love the new color but can't justify $6k for paint.

OP... the car looks killer! BUT aside from it looking insanely awesome, would you do this again to another car? You know what I mean, its different from wanting something, then when you get it done.. sometimes you just wouldnt do this again... im curious to hear your thoughts. I'd love to hear your personal experience maintaining your car now that it is wrapped. Ive got quoted out here in CA for 2500-3k.
