black is fine except it will need more attention than other and with black you'll see ALL the dirt and fine line scratches easier.. some kind of metallic white well be low maintenance to a point. then u could choose any color rims you want.. another .02 from me..
mspMee said:yup, spicy in sacto..
Im starting to think black, smoked tails and headlights, smoked or yellow fogs, dark tint windows, debadged, wingless, with some bronze rims?

Yes this is very true. Had a black car. Never again. They suck to keep clean. Water spots water spots water spots. Need I say more. White is nuetral. Soooooo many options. Find yourself a nice pearly/metallic white and you will be set.(thumb)

Ya, 25T is an orange basecoat, with a pink midcoat (yup, pink!) with gold mica in the midcoat. It's a cool color. I've mixed it a few times at work lol my last cell phone face plate was spicy orange!

concur.....
If you're actually considering doing a color-change, I hope you have the balls to do it right. This involves pulling the glass, weatherstripping, masking/pulling the interior, etc. It's also better if you pull the motor. I've done it once on my first 323 GTX, and I'll never do it again unless it's a damn high dollar car.
But hey, if you want to ruin one more Spicy, it's ok by me. At this rate I'll have one of 100 instead of one of 600 in a couple more years. The Spicys are dropping like flies.

Well I thought I would update.
I went to two different body shops and got a quick estimate on what it would cost to paint the WHOLE car.. yes that means everything, don't worry lol.. They said 10-12 grand... I knew it would be high, but I was hoping 7 max. Maybe I was just being naive..
10-12 grand is like 90%-100% of the cars value so I am going to have to pass. Anyway I found a body shop I approve of and am going to get it restored back to spicy.

. Anyway I found a body shop I approve of and am going to get it restored back to spicy.I don't know if anyone asked.. but have you ever considered a CF hood and trunk lid and get the others repainted? When i got my body kit installed.. it looks great and the difference is barley noticable.. if not at all. I wouldn't worry about the paint not matching.
