Should i do a color change?
I am planning to reprint my whole car due to the scratches on the bumpers. I have a DG coupe and I am not sure i should keep the same color or change to some other colors. I kinda want to change the color because DG is not the best color for CF hood, black roof and stuffs. What do you guys think? idk....anyone have any recommendations?

repaint ure whole car b/c of some scratches in your front bumper? why not just get a new bumper or aftermarket bumper? this would be a lot cheaper then repainting ure whole car! just a thought

If your gonna spend the money doing a color change, make sure you plan on keeping the car. Once you change the color on the car, the value depreciates. I'd say paint it over and throw some pearl or metalic in the paint that way it still remains the stock color but with some kick to it.
I am not use thinking to reprint the car...i also putting after market bumper and stuff.
Yea...one of the think i am worrying about is the value depreciation.

Its gonna cost a fortune to do all the jambs and extra disassemble time. Im starting my color change next month not looking forward to the death sentence of man hours. If you keep the color similar you may get away with not doing jambs. Make your current color the base of a 3 stage paint job. Some HOK paints are sprayed over silver I think. Get someone to paint "spray out cards" with various transparent pearl midcoats over the silver. May find a color you like and save a ton of money.

and a black roof looks great on DG
Just do a respray of the same color, and make sure you get MULTIPLE coats of paint and clear coat... This way you will have a nice factory color and look.. but 10x better quality.
