Answer 1

change the colour to pink if you like but try selling it

Answer 2

Changing a cars color can be alot of work and money.

It all depends on the finished results you want. If you want it to look factory, custom, etc. Then you would need to paint inside the engine compartment, trunk, door jams, even gas lid door. This entails alot of disassembly work, labor, etc. Normally a repaint done this way, in a good reputable shop will run you from $5,000 to as high as $45,000 dpending on the car, paint choosen, etc.

If you are going to just say race it locally, not care if the engine, door jams and all are black (not like it would matter, black is okay....but say if the car was beige and you were gonna do a pink repaint, you'd have to change that beige). Then I would just have the outside panels painted. There is two versions of this type of paint job. First would be to just tape the car up as she sits and paint it. This is how Maaco paints cars and they do it for $450 and under. The second way, the proper way, would be to remove trim, glass, etc so the paint can go up under these items. In turn allowing the paint to have a longer life and not peal in a matter of 1, 2 years.

Any color car is fine....just express yourself as a car guy...errr...girl. The car is an extension of you.

Since it is already black and you want to go pink/purple. A cheap route would be to go to a local vinyl sign store and look at either a full body wrap on the car or just wild designs, logo's that you want. Put enough pink vinyl on it and people will think you have a pink and black paint job. Vinyl you can for few hundred depending on how complicated you get.

Answer 3

Yes go for it. Ive been to many car cruise events, there has always been a few cars in mad girly colours, they look great. Speaking as a bloke i think its true to say you would definitely receive respect as a girl racer. GO FOR IT, YOUR ONLY YOUNG ONCE :o)

Answer 4

Like each and every individual else is putting forward, the lighter the colour the better. i'd imagine metallic paint finishes reflect warmth better than non-metallic hues. awesome pink is the most warmth drawing color. it truly is a reality, no longer my opinion. If i'm no longer incorrect, black is the 2d worst. in case you imagine about it, this may clarify why awesome pink paint on autos has a tendency to vanish so much better immediately than different hues.

Answer 5

If it was me, definitely not!! I am looking for a black diesel.
You cannot beat black for a colour. Also, have you not seen the price of petrol? Far better to keep a car that does 50 + mpg at the mo., whether or not you want to. hope the weather is nice were you are. subtle aren't I?

Answer 6

Up to you, the cost will be quite high, but a couple of girls up here near me have pink cars, they never get stolen as the joyriding punks do not like the colour.

Answer 7

I would say no - you'll spend a lot of money only to reduce its resale value (because you'll be severly limiting your potential market to people who want a pink 306 HDi).
However, if you've moded it then you've already spent a lot of money to reduce its resale value.

So its up to you.
It doesn't matter if I like it.
But will your male friends, or current or future boyfriends, want to be seen in it when its your turn to drive?

Answer 8

nah, then you'll have the whole issue of the INSIDE of the car and the door colors, roof support colors..

i like the "ghosted" flames, etc that barely show up under the paint.

why not try some hot pink "ghosting"

Answer 9

you do what ever colour you like just remember come sale time it could efect the value of the car it will stand out in the crowd and as long as you don,t mind being pointed at then go for it

Answer 10

there is a paint type you can get called "flip-flop paint"
this give's you the effect of 2/3 colours at the same time!
you can have it both colours and glitter,
but mind you,
it can cost in excess of £2000
for a showroom finished job!!
