Im repainting my TII, inside and out, because I cant stand the red. The paint job will look factory. But I plan on selling/trading this car shortly, so resale value is one of my top concerns. What color do you think would have the best resale value, and be the quickest to sell.





89 TII, black leather interior.

WHat the hell is the point of respaying it a whole new color if you are gonna get rid of it.. Just have it sprayed REd again if it needs it.. this will make the value go up.. and since it is the original color it will look nice and not make buyers suspicious....it gives it that taken care of and restored feel..



Just my $.02

But red seems to be the least desirable color for an FC. The car has to be painted, the paint is aweful. And I already have the interior out, and its prepped to have the whole car resprayed. I was going to keep the car, which is the whole reason Im changing the color, but plans changed. It would be as easy for me to respray the whole car now as it would be to do the outside in red again.



If I go with white or silver, Im probably goign to have the rims powdercoated in gunmetal.

I've always loved silver FC's and don't see many.

It's called "Resale Red." Red cars sell best. Keep the red.

I think it would look nice silver. Dont see too many silver fcs just black and red not that black and red dont look nice but i would like to see a silver. I also heard red makes the insurance go up

definitely black.

red would make the most sense if you are gonna sell the car.

but if you are bent on changing the color i would at least spray it a factory color. black or white.

my friend painted his S13 with a black metallic micha from the new protege.... it looks really nice.
