Ok so I am bringing my car in to get painted this week. Original color was white repainted yellow. Should I go back to white or should I paint it black?

your thoughts?

Thanks

when it was repainted, was it a complete colour change or was it just the external surfaces? So, is the engine compartment still white? inside of the doors? underside of the hood? etc

If much of the car is still the original white, I would be inclinded to return it to white. but ultimately, all that matters is what colour of car you want to have.

I'd go with white. What colour is your interior?

black just had it all redone the seats and door panels. Just replacing all the grey plastic with black as we speak.

White would be my choice....but white is also the best colour for hiding body work...black is the exact opposite, if panels aren't straight...you will tell with black.

White will look better longer. Black is tough to live with

paint mirrors NOT window and trim mouldings (other than along the mid body of the car and bumper). I hate it when people paint window mouldings looks like crap IMO.
White will look great, Johnny's car looks awesome.

By window mouldings do you mean around the windshield. Also I think the handles look best in black.

HyperGT

it is vinyl marine grade. No shop does it out of his garage does really good work is very reasonable. He has some newer vette seats in there that he was doing that looked kinda crazy.

Hope this thing is worth it I got rid of a miata to buy this thing but I'm sure i'll be happy once its complete. But I realized fast how easy it is to dump $$$ into these things.

He must be mistaken. The Ford Oxford White DEFINITELY has more of a cream tone to it.

Can't wait to see your ride when it rolls out of the booth.
