    So i have a dark metalic bronzemist GTP and im kinda sick of the color after 6 months. Body is in perfect condition and doesn't need any bondo.

    Is it really stupid to try and paint it myself? How much would it cost and how much time would it take?

    How much am i looking to pay to have it done professionally?

    Im thinking black or a dark blue

    What do you guys think?

    Keep the color, not worth it in the long run to paint a whole car. Don't paint it your self unless you have a booth and experience. If you have a professional do it, it will be very expensive.

    Some shops won't even paint a whole car due to all the prep work required. Prep is key to any paint job. So its maintaining the right temperature and humidity when it comes to curing the paint..

    Keep the color you have just add some accents to it.

    ^ Agreed. When I sold my GT I either wanted the GTP (I have now) or a Bronzemist one.

    Yea defiantly is a very hard thing to do, but that also depends on if you car about quality and how it looks close up or 500 yards away

    you got a booth to do it? and a really good sprayer? and know what you're doing? that's the only way it won't be TOO hard. or look like crap. good luck and let us know what you choose though...
