you know of a picture of a car with that color. So far i havent really decided but i think it would be easier to go with red. Only problem with red is there is another red vert up the street. I never thought deciding on a color to paint would be this hard

They call that color Montego Blue by the way- that blueish-green you talk of.

Ok, let's get some things sorted out before we discuss anything:

To change the color the right way you'll have to paint the interior, exterior, trunk, and engine bay. That will require taking apart the entire car. If you can do that yourself I would say to look at spending $2000+ at most shops. If you can't take everything apart then you'll be looking at ALOT more, probably at least $6K, most likely more. THEN you have to wonder if they can actually put the car back together the right way.

Good freagin luck to even find a shop to do a full paint job, let alone one with a color change. The thought shouldnt be " i never thought it would be this hard to pick a color", as it will be "where will I find a competant shop to paint my car"....and even MORE importantly " WHERE THE **** AM I GOING TO GET THE MONEY TO PAINT MY CAR??" better ask daddy to take out another loan, lol

Getting the money for the paint is no problem and im paying off the loan for the car myself just needed him to get it. But anyway, why will it be hard to find a shop to paint the car. I think ill just go with red anyway. Its kind of growed on me. So how muh you think to just get it painted red again?

You have to do the insides of the doors, the door jambs, etc. I did the entire floor and firewall of my car.
