    Neeeeed Help

    Hello guys Im having a tough time deciding what color to paint my car. The cars original color is Laguna green, but Im having a hard time deciding wether to keep the original color or change it! At first I wanted to go white, then to dark purplish/maroon color and now kinda of like the original laguna green. Some of my friends and family are saying keep the original color because keep the car original, and some are saying if your going to spend money on the car paint it something unique. So my head is spinning in all sorts of directions, and thought Id come and get some professional r3v opinions.

    Oh the car is a 1993 E30 325i cabrio.

      you already have a "custom colour" as it is not very common.
      to do a colour change correctly you should do the jams and the engine bay whice is lots more labor and $ to do correctly.

      lots of times, after you paint a car some wild 1 off colour you will get tired of it in about a year or so stock colours always seem to stand the test of time. they are the best if you plan on keeping the car for a while IMHO.

      it is, however, YOUR CAR. do what you like, but be aware that to do a colour change you are looking at paying more money for a correctly done paint job.

              Thanks, the paint job estimate I got was close to $3,000 and that includes painting inside engine bay, door jams, interior takin out and sprayed inside, trunk, etc. I just cant make up my mind, but so far Im going to keep it original most likely. Laguna Green. Oh also the paint that is going to be is used is very expensive, its Glasurit.
