Try telling that to a reputable paint shop. You're looking at spending a pretty penny when it comes to doing the engine bay and everything else. I would just sell what you've got and buy a black one. You could also get a cheap job done for $2,000, but you probably wouldn't be too satisfied with the results. Good luck.

If you want your engine bay and door jambs to match your new exterior color, prepare to bleed thru your nose. I was faced the same dilemma so I just painted my car a shade close to what I already had.

How much did that run you, if you don't mind me asking? I want to get mine resprayed at some point (same color).

Interested in his too.
My car begs for a 'better' white and was just thinking to respray it.
Going to hit body shops next week here in Fl but was wondering what should I consider appropriate and not a rip-off.

Thx
