Default Factory Paint(2-tone) vs. Custom Paint (1-tone)

Hi everyone.
I drive the 2001 es300 coach edition black on black
from tihs site, i have seen how nice es300s look re-painted to one color!
I was wondering which you guys prefered?

Questions + Other Comments
Does the re-sale value go down if you paint over the factory paint?
everything is still pretty damn sweet since initial purchase
even tho black+gray vs. all Black is not much of a difference, i think that all black looks better
hence, my personal satisfaction gains = hapiness
I need a 2nd opinion tho =)
