want to breath some new life into my 05 aero blue pearl crossfire and am considering painting my car a different color. anyone change the color of their car or paint it a different color? any pics?

 

How about pink?

 

That is a an abomination!

 

I think it looks pretty good with the silver strakes and door handles.

 

Go for it Nick!

 

From what I read about the history of the pink Crossfire, the owner's husband owned ( or worked at) a paint shop. They basically removed everything in the engine bay and elsewhere in the door sills and rear hatch to completely remove any evidence of the previous color.

The bottom line is, to repaint a car properly is usually cost prohibitive for most people. Of course, there will be naysayers out there that will disagree.

 

no on the pink lol anyone else paint theres

 

for now i'll leave it black, but if it ever got vandalized or damaged to where the whole car needed to be repainted, i'd repaint it midnight purple pearl

I've been toying with buying a beater for my daughter and shooting it Lotus Krypton Green.

 

That R34 is AWESOME!!! Still love em!

 

Just an FYI, if you paint your car, it will kill its value if you ever god forbid total the car. Ask me how I know..

 

How do you know?

 

I'm keeping my car black but going with a ooozeeee green as a secondary color. ! once you go black you never go back!!!! ahhhhh

 

the funny part is my insurance company doesnt care what I do, they pay me for everything. When my drag car had an accident with a tow truck, they forked over 5k to me.

 

your quite right it belongs the wife of matt peel who owns a body shop in bristol uk, he did some work on my PT when someone ran into the back, matt is also the importer for pteazer stuff into the uk, i would love a white crossfire but they were never sold in that colour in UK and as said if your going to do it properly it would cost way too much..

 

Wow, you show your youth in that statement, wait till the insurance man catches up to you, always happens sooner or later.

Then that porsche, 350z, vette whatever you want to buy, you will not be able to insure

 

The thing about painting a car a different color is it has to be stripped completely or you see the old color in all kinds of places and it looks like crap It's not worth the effort.

 

nice rims but the color is still the same on car

 

the value of my car is only about 12 grand in Az anyway as this car is no longer made and I have it in great condition its an 05 with 50k miles on it not looking to get rid of it anytime soon
