thats really up to you...if you are willing to pay a couple thousand dollars for a good paint job to get the color you're happy with then go for it...its not a hassle if you can easily aford it

maybe 3000 plus...depending where you are located, you could find some good shops that charge less...the more expensive paint jobs including finer details, like removing door trims and taking off your old paint to start over

If you aren't happy wit hthe color then nothing but a color change will satisfy you. I'd get a paint job that is still green, but a different shade (and not paint the inside doors to save yourself some money).

I agree. Find something close to the current color of your car. But if you want something other than a green make sure you get the door jams, trunk jams, and under the hood resprayed the new color. It would look silly with green jams and some other color on the rest of the car.

Okay dont paint the door jam wow that guy must think a $500.00 paint job is the way to go lol. Let me tell you stick with the same color of the car it will save you alot of stress. Its not the color that you dont like but the age of the paint so take my advice and let me know how it turns out okay.

I painted my green sc300 graphite grey pearl. I love the color change. It's really an awesome color.
Man it's all up to you though. I got my buddy to paint it for free, just the cost of paint and clear ($400), but it still needs buffing and polishing...
