Default Repainting C4
I am a C3 guy looking at a C4. Can you take the panels off a 95 and repaint them while having the car sit in the garage. I was told this was possible with a C5.

Thanks

The rear 1/4s and the halo cover are glued on. Not removeable. Everything else can come off.

You can paint the panels individually though if you want. The c5 fenders unbolt, the c4's don't. Think of it as a c3 with a clamshell hood.

I love the color. What is the name/brand of the color? Is this a color change? Looks great. Please post one when all the pieces are back together.
