Time for a repaint

My car needs a repaint badly. Clear coat has started pealing off in a couple places. Im not really sure if i should jus repaint it TB or do some different color! Im looking to keep the rims i have on my car, and also keep a gloss black theme.
any suggestions? Here are a couple pics so u guys get an idea

Vivek, someone PMd me and said you told him my paint was 1500... unless you plan to do many thousands of body work, repainting the car isnt going to be as cheap as you think...

How much does it cost to get your whole car repainted? Anyone have an idea?

Your best bet would be to ask around your local shops and get an estimate

I think you should keep the TB man. Honestly, it's the only highly modded TB on here and it looks amazing. If you should get anything painted, I think you should get the chrome trim painted black to match the headlights and the door handles and mirror bases painted to TB
