Not trying to discourage you, just saying its a pita and prob not worth it.

I agree I have painted many a car and changing colors is a PITA in spades on the bright side if you are really really bored and are doing the work yourself, you will quickly wish you were bored again

It's like an amoeba gone bad

It probably isn't worth the money to do a full color change.
Haha, i was going to do that once and the body shop actually talked me out of it saying it isn't worth it as my car is a '00 model.

You should look into doing a matte gunmetal or dark gray. Everyone does matte black, and sure it's cool, but not a lot of people have done a matte gray looking color. On a car with the body of a Grand Prix, a matte color would look pretty cool.

You can always get the car wrapped too instead of a new paint job. In all seriousness though, look into it. Like Odi said, be different, get something cool.

Take the color from the 2008 Lincoln MKZ's. As far as I am concerned they either only made this color for the one year or for a few before that but it was called Dark Blue Ink Metallic (or something like that). My mom used to have one in the same color and the cool thing was that when you had it all nice and cleaned up and in the sunlight it was this nice deep metallic blue and then at night it looked black and the blue would come out depending on the lighting. Was a real cool color...thinking about doing it to one of mine if I can ever find the color and if one of my cars paint ever goes down the toilet.
