jeffer949 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Do what you want. but if you do a color change paint the jambs and every thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight-280Z Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Save up for that perfect paint...Don't have a multi color Z.....It looks funny and you'll be a lot happier that all jambs matches the new color. Some people skimp out and the car looks cool when the doors are closed, but when open it doesn't look right and the owner is not happy....I'm going to repaint my car but I'm still undecided...Maybe i'll paint it like Austin's car since my original color is blue....Right now i'm working on my engine bay and painting it Satin Black...

MJLamberson Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 are you trying to keep its collector value or make it YOUR car, that is the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is this a Maaco special or a quality paint job? If you're going to drop alot of money on a well executed paint job, i would recommend going with the original color, it willl add a little to the value of the car.
