After I got rear-ended around a year ago, I had the option of respraying the car a different colour to the factory silver. I would have preferred a black car (I was looking for a black car when I got mine, but this one was too good a deal to pass up) but in the end I decided it would be too dodgy to do such a fundamental colour change.

If I ever wanted to sell it, the first thing people would notice is the majorly different colour (you can never really cover it ALL up) and they would either use this to bargain thousands of bucks off the price or just walk away.

You might think you hate the colour now but it will probably grow on you if you get it. I have never owned a car that was my first choice in colour. Previously I've had brown, red, and white Toranas, all of which were colours I hated but ended up not minding after a short time. After that a white Commodore (I still don't like white) which I also ended up liking. Then a metallic green Commodore, which I never even considered getting before, but again ended up quite liking.

Then finally the silver Skyline, which was my 2nd or 3rd choice in colour after black and maybe gunmetal, but now I really like. I still like black better, but I'm compensated in not having to wash the silver nearly as often :)
