Re-Painting the whole G?

Anyone ever re-painted their whole car another color?
I'm not too fond with the color ...and would like to paint the whole car another color. If anyone knows maybe an estimate of how much it would cost and maybe some well known business names that do good jobs? Im in the Chicagoland area.
Thanks guys.

ha $199. I wish.

Your probably looking at between $3000-$5000 for the whole car including engine bay. There are a few members on here that have done it. Do a search.

Just keep in mind that re-painting the entire car (especially another color) will destroy your re-sale value.

Damn...yeah I never thought about that.

Ohh well I will probably stay with the color unless I find a good price somewhere. Im just not digging the DG color anymore...and miss my IP Coupe color. I might jaust have to deal with it and put some tints and try to make the best of it. Thanks guys for the responses.

2nd the resale value, and cost, but also remember that to do an allover, properly, the car needs to be disassembled. Don't expect to see your car for a while, months even, depending on the shop and work load.
