A good complete color change will cost $4000-$5000, if you do some work yourself.

If you are really serious about this , I also suggest metallic[pearlish] orange. It is mainly used on hot rods/customs and most of these jobs use paint from House of Kolor.

You need to look at some of these colors before you decide.

one thing about it, you won't meet yourself coming down the road--and it is tasteful if done correctly.

Might want to consider a 'flip-flop' paint that changes from purple to black,etc as the light and view changes. now that would be different. Being used on customs,etc.'flip-flop'
