respray advice

[ameetgill1]

guys i have a royal blue cab mtec1 with a weisman hardop. thinking to respray it jet black

will this lose value of the car or cause any issues?

[mercdriver]

Yep... Don't bother, keep it original

[ameetgill1]

Will lose it's originality but maybe not it's value. Might be worth more if the respray is done to a high standard and is better than the paint on the car already.

Why the colour change though? It's a lot of work to do a FULL colour change PROPERLY.

Just really no need for a jet black e30? If you do change the colour entirely, change it to a genuine bmw colour and ask pular to make you new stickers for the colour name... Just painting one a modern bmw colour won't work unless it's 475 black sapphire metallic if black is what you are after. At a push 668 schwarz which is solid black

It's all about who u know. a family friend has a garage. I am in no rush maybe next year. Are there any other colours that are original to the e30 preparbally black.
