[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16717079, member: 70025"] Hello Blkkbgt! I agree with you 100% on both counts. I made this thread and asked the question because my idea was to disassemble the car to paint it a different color. I believe the "ONLY" way to do a color change correctly is to disassemble the car. So, I did not want to go through all that work, time, labor and effort if most people will not want to buy a re-painted Terminator or for people to tell me they would buy it, but wouldn't be willing to pay top dollar for it because it's not the original color. I do not plan on taking this car completely apart only to make the same amount of money a person would pay for a stock silver metallic vert. Might as well sell it as such. I posted those colors as examples of re-painted Terminators and to show I couldn't find the same type of color change for a vert. I did not mean to imply I wanted to paint my vert either of those colors. If I did end up re-painting the car it would be CO, SB (I thought about MC, but I wouldn't be able to make the interior match) or a non factory color that would stand the test of time (i.e. 93 Cobra Teal, Bullitt Green, Bimini Blue, some form of Red or something else along those lines). In my build thread, most of it is about painting. I changed the front end and then painted the engine bay and posted my steps. Then I installed the drive train and started to paint my fenders and front bumper. But I think when I started painting the body will help you the most. If you look on the web page (i.e. on your PC) that process starts on page 57. If you're using the phone app the process starts with post #1,138. If you do take a look please let me know what you think. There was a lot of learning, but hopefully my mistakes will keep you from making the same ones. Thank you for your feedback on re-painting my vert. Greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
