Thats what Im thinking. Any quality paint job is gonna cost at least 6g minimum. Your talking about changing the entire color of the car. That entails inside the trunk ,engine bay ,door frames etc. Anything else is gonna look really ghetto.

Bunch of haters already? I'm more interested in seeing photos...not figuring out how one affords things in life.

What I want to know is why are we talking about a C63 on a E9x forum? This OP started different threads first about test driving Maserati, different thread about test driving C63, all in this forum. What for? To have everyone congratulate him? Those threads were all moved to off topic sections and he starts another one here. What's his deal?

i smell something fishy

the white one is 2010, not 2009 and costs way more so i would rather take the 2009 and repaint it. Also the 2010 has no room on the price and i got 4k off on the 2009

Huh??? for 4500 I would hope the paint job covers all of the "seen" area. What are they not painting? I don't understand this one. Post up before and after pics of the C63, they are nice cars had a grey one parked next to me a week or so ago. Have fun with it.

Now the car is in the body shop and they are getting the headliner removed since i want to get it wrapped in alcantara.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I ever heard.

But this was a close second...

My car is low 40s and the white one is high 50s

3 weeks to a month, sounds about right to do a color change RIGHT. And on that car i would want it done RIGHT. Actually i used to work at a shop and for a high end car we spent about 6-8 weeks on a color change to pay attention to detail.

You can be rich and not have any material possessions. You can be poor and drive a white C63. Having material possessions and having abundance/richness is different all together.

it does not hurt to ask, + it can give people motivation. your not even OP so how can you tell him to mind his own business?

but, OP i guess does not want to say.

[PiZauL]

lol

But congrats. Hope you plan on keeping it, respraying a car lowers the resale value.
