change exterior color

Where the heck is that JDM brochure? (Hope someone will post it!) While we only had 7 colors to choose from in the US, the Japanese VXs were available in about 25 colors and every one of them looked great!

Cotterg - you sound like you intend to keep your VX forever, so I think you should do what makes you happy.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have extensive experience in restoration of early (65-66) Mustangs but as you see am a newbie to the VX. Doing a color change..especially to a non factory one..on a Mustang would be a killer. No one would buy it and let's face it we all are likely to get in the selling mood sometime. If I paint this car it will be done right. Cladding off, door jambs, etc, and by a long time used shop and friend. It's going to mean I have about $8500 in the car after paint, new windshield, a couple other small tweaks, and all. I just want to be sure in my head that if I proceed and do it "tastefully" for lack of a better word I can get out of it at some point in the future. It really is a nice car that drives and looks way better than 130K miles. Just has a lot of stone chips up front and small scratches all over. Way too much to touch up. Any critique is welcome.
