Hello Guys

I have a question. If your unable to find a 240Z in the color you like that is in excellent condition would you consider buying a car and then repaint it to the color you like or is that not considered a good move.

Thanks

Larry

It would depend on my intentions with the car.

For my purpose that is exactly what I'm doing, since it will be off the road for a few years while I build it, and all the sheet metal will be exposed and quite likely worked over.

I've done one colour change in the past and swore I would never do it again, at least not for a daily driver, I would just repaint it whatever colour it was. Body working and finishing the door jambs, the engine bay, end other exposed areas can be a long process. I ended up spraying the engine bay black in my truck, as it was much easier than trying to paint it body colour with the engine in. I also knew I was going to have the engine out a few months later, and knew that I wouldn't be able to or have the time to spray it with the body colour, so black spray bomb got the nod, as it's easy to touch up as well. The door jambs are all painted to match the body colour though.

Thanks, I guess I will keep looking for the color car I like that's in good condition.

Keep in mind, if you find another color and you want to paint it white, to do the job properly, you'll have to strip the engine bay...and while your at it you'll have to clean everything...and while youre doing that, you will probly want to fix up any rust bubbles or cancerous areas...and the list goes on. So to do it proplerly, it might get expensive and time consuming.
