Anyone here change the color of their car? - LotusTalk

noobified · 07-23-2008, 10:32 AM

Has anyone here done a complete color change of their Lotus, not by buying a new one, I mean repainting the clams everytime they got bored of the color.

Good question. There are some good prices on British racing green elise's and if someone would paint one it would still be a great price..

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Aspen White, but what will I think of it after a few years? However, how would a new paint job affect the resale value?

noobified · 07-23-2008, 08:19 PM

He got it back from Dent Werks but since he broke his wrist masturbating, he can't drive it

Search for pic of Serebo1's car. He spent a lot of time coming up just the right level of "flat" then he used some gloss accents. It looks incredible.

Repaint... and lower the resale value of your car... or the collectability... don't do it!

You could just let your Lotus change colors on its own...
my lotus re-spray what do you think?

arcticlighting painted his Exige a badass ultra metallic green. I think it worked out great, but the ET community was totally negative about the final so I don't think he ever posted the finished product. It's a shame, because I think it looked freaking amazing.

noobified · 07-24-2008, 08:04 AM

Serebo1's car looks sikkkkkkk! It's so stealthy.
