But that is not always the case. I bought my 99 as Sebring Silver and now it is charcoal grey--not becasue anything was wrong but because I like the color better and I have gotten nothing but compliments on my car and don't feel like I would have a problem selling it if I wanted to--which I don't but still....

Most people woulnd`t buy a Vette that has been repainted, period...regardless of the reason the car is worth less money.
If you really want to customize the car with a new paint you need to pay big bucks for that paint job...arround $10000... anything less would be looking worse than the original.
The expensive part is in the labor....all body parts need to be stripped off of the car including the windshield. Parts then need to be painted separately than mounted back on car...lots of work....this is how the car is painted from the factory piece by piece then assembled together.
Puting masking tape arround the windshield and windows than spraying paint on a Corvette should be illegal....

Can't wait to see it in person. By the way, mine looks exactly the same as your before picture, Sebring silver. I did put thin spoke 2000 wheels on it.

Some day I WILL change the white on my vette , I hate white . I got my vette in trade for a rusted out classic Mini Pooper that I had so I didn't do any shopping , it just fell into my lap .
