How much do you think it would cost to get a brand new (4500k) Fit repainted? Like, say going from SSM to taffeta white. Me and a friend were talking about how i would have preferred to have a tw fit. And she was all like "just get it painted". lol im sure its expensive. but anyone have a ballpark figure? im thinkg 2-4000

 

Let's see. Five spray cans @ $15 = $75. Or you could go ask a paint shop.

 

 

If you are going to re-paint, why not go with another white? Tafetta white looks great, but it's a boring refrigerator white compared to a lot of whites with more depth, like a pearl white.

If you did want to stay with the generic white, I'd say BMW's Alpine White is the winner. Every white Bimmer you've seen on the roads since the 70s is painted in it.

 

too much. imo, if you could trade that would be better. the amount of time and money spent to get the car repainted isnt worth the hassle.

but if you have that kind of money laying around, why not a custom color, def a peral like hayden suggested, maybe a candy blend?

 

(not recommended to change colors on cars)

Why not just add the TW as an accent to your silver and go two tone? Like this car...

I told that guy he needed 5 cans to do the whole car.

Anyhow GS why not just get a new GF - would be cheap if she liked your paint colour.

 

How about just wrap the entire car in a white vinyl?

You'll get the look you want without lowering the value of the car by painting it (I've heard painting does that) and if you decide to trade the car in, just peel off the vinyl and the paint should be like new.

 

Haha. Just so you guys know, I'm in no way actually considerring this. I just thought it would be an interesting topic. But i do like your suggestions, minus the two tone one lol. Are there any colors in particular YOU would like to paint your car?

 

to do it right aka remove engine remove suspension remove all interior would be retardedly expensive.

 

SSM > TW

Ooops I went there

 

wrap it in CF

 

Wrap it in 1980s floral wallpaper with a coat of lacquer on top. Would look sa-weet.

 

Hey I like that suggestion!

Cat :x

 

Why didnt you just get a TW???

But if you want to paint the car dont be cheap and choose a color thats not an OEM color.

 

you can get it wrapped for much cheaper, still probably looking at 2 grand though...

 

At one time I was seriously considering getting my Fit painted green. I didn't make sense to me that Honda would release a "green" car and not even offer green as one of the colors. I really like the CRV green.

 

Another choice thats not out to piblic yet but will be very very soon is a product from meguiars called wraptivo. They debuted it at SEMA last year.

 

I must admit, ssm has deffinately grown on me now ive had the car for a while.

lol and i might just look into the floral-design.

OR, how bout like the harlequin golf? every panel a different color

 

A good paint job (changing car color) will probably start at around $6,000.00.
