Getting a new paint job. .

Next month I will be getting a new paint job. At first, I didn't want to change the color but now I do. Should I go with white or silver?

for sure just get a few extra clears on there...that way more protection and can get it buffered more often and not have to worry about paint...

Fade blue into white!! Looks great and people will be jealous! Leave it all black. Knight Rider style. If anything get it re cleared with some pearl over the black. If your gonna paint your whole car a different color, dont go stock colors! Make your car original. Be the only guy in your city with a Green evo or a maroon one. Change it up!

I would stay with the black. I know it sucks to keep clean and hide blemishes because my last car was black and I swore I would never get another one.

All I ever see out here in AZ are the graphite greys and apex silver.

So, I'd say white. Go with the Lexus white (don't know official name), looks cool from different angles but is expensive.

I'd go with white, I've always wanted a white car, especially a white evo.

White.

Damn.. that's a ton of work to do a color change. trunk, under carpet. door frames (inside and out) and under door panels.. door pillars, under hood, engine bay, firewall.... Hope you have someone you trust doing the work. I would stick with the original color even if it was black. See above advice about extra clear cloat.

I was really hoping it was going to be that car... That's the worst thing I've even seen.

Seriously though, why would you want to change the color? Leave it alone, your going to cause way more problems than it's worth...
Just go buy a different color Evo, if that is what you really want.
