My termi has an accident on its record. It didn't totally the car just a little crash with a stop sign that just made the front number NTB replaced. I got it forvacoretty good deal. I've always wanted the screaming yellow termi. Should I go ahead and paint it that color? I'm originally a mineral grey coupe. I honestly don't know if I'll sell it fine the road or not. What do you guys think? Or should I just go with some random off the wall color?

Say what?

You wrecked car, need it painted, want to change from Mineral Grey to Yellow? If that's what your asking I would paint it back original then sell it for a yellow one. Mineral grey was a low production number color leave it be.

^^^This. Changing colors that are not very close to the original are difficult if you want it to look factory or better. I agree to either stick with Mineral Gray or sell it and buy a Screaming Yellow Terminator.

I've changed the color of various hot rods I've built over the years and I can tell you unless you plan on tearing it down to a completely bare piece of metal with absolutely nothing more that can be removed (think raw stamped pieces of steel like when the car was built) you're wasting your time. You will always see bits and pieces of the old color in various spots like around carpet edges, parts of the trunk, under the car, bits and pieces under the hood, inside of hinge gaps etc. Unfortunately it'll probably completely devalue your car. Spray the same color or something so close you can't really tell unless you want to deal with all the color miss match BS all over.

Well I guess my mind is made! Thanks guys! I didn't realize it was such low production color. I really need to get my build number.
