    Change of color

    Hi all first post on here, what is people's opinions on changing from the factory color? Is it acceptable to paint in another color from the range offered?
    Thanks Paul

    Sometimes depends on the colour your changing to but if its an original Sandman most people are going the factory colour these days

    I find 'new' colours dont suit the older cars. I'd say yes in picking a different colour from its colour range

    Wasn't referring to newer colors just the range available for that model , if it's not concourse will it really devalue it?
    And yes I am talking sandman

    I would say you would be devaluing the car. Sandman's are now expected to be what the tags state. This also makes the cars with the nice colour tags, running gear etc more desirable and thus more valuable. If it not going to be concours (not concourse, as a concourse is the outer walking promenade area of a sporting ground or similar) meaning the car is modified to non original the value is already decreased for most serious Sandman purchasers. That would be a completely different target market.

    If it's say a non desirable colour, fitted with side windows, sunroof and tagged poverty pack driveline you could find an argument in your favour to colour change.

    You cant say that it would devalue a car what if the next buyer likes the colour it has been painted
    we all have different taste when it come to cars and colours
    just like Byron hates green someone else will drool over green

    The trend of today most people paying top $$$ for original matching tags with colour and drivelines
    that doesnt mean someone wont buy it because its a different colour

    I can and I did. I say so because I feel it is a true statement. Just like if an XU-1 left the factory as Baroda Silver and some knucklehead paints it Red and fits a sunroof.

    Value has dropped. That's not to say someone who like Red and Sunroof won't buy!
