If you paint the car its never gonna be the same and never gonna be AS perfect as the factory paint job, and for a 1000 dollar paint job i bet it has orange peel all over the car and probably was a ****ty paint job

In my opinion the factory paint job isn't all that great to begin with. Still I do enjoy the car as white, but when I painted my previous cars, I was so happy with the outcome and liked the fact that my car stood out even more. That is why I would consider it. I know $1,000 sounds cheap, and I was a little nervious about the change to my VR4 and SL, but it came out so damn well. Paint jobs is the only hook up I have (friend's cousin) so I've taken advantage of it twice before. I've owned three 3000GTs and re-painted two of them. Still I'll probably keep her white and go with a white/black combo. But in California, there are so many EVOs, I would love to stand out a little more. But for now I concentrating on increasing the power.

Also, as far as I am concerned, I have no plans on ever selling my EVO. I waited, saved, and obsessed over getting this car for three years, so why in the hell would I ever consider selling it. If she breaks down, I'll keep her and fix it. If I get another EVO, it will be when this one is payed off and I will have two EVOs.

I know that cali has ****-load of Evos but what can we do...? nada.. paint and keep it unique? I would just pocket the $1000, because whites a good color IMO.

If your a type of person what continously ponder over this delima, go with your thoughts to be satisfied.

I'm not really feeling any of the 3 colors you picked. "Sorry"
I would like to see an Evo in a stock Mitsubishi Color like...3rd Gen Eclipse: Patriot Red Pearl /Primal Red Pearl Color Code - R70
http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1371...29046835AnmLkn
http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2473...29046835qcsHBu
or Sherwood Green Pearl Color Code - G41

I am tooling with the idea of painting my EVO IX. Before you think yuuuuuk! I am talking about a straight up paint job, no stickers or ricer graphics. Just changing the color of my car from white to one of these colors-

Orange
or
Forest Green
or
Navy Blue
or
Some other choice

Here is some pictures of my previous 3000GT VR4, it was green but I paid an even $1,000 for the change to blue, it came out really nice, sorry for the poor picture quality-







Just thinking about it, nothing more, just wanted to get people thoughts and have others ever considered doing this.
