My tc right now is painted flint mica which is a preetty sweet color but i always wanted the color blue blitz mica. if i take it to a paint shop can they paint it like an rs 2.0 and i know the color code is 08Q1

kikcaffine

Yea but why? Just get it that color to begin with?

esh3g

doesnt it come only on the rs 2.0 and i couldnt find any rs 2.0 so yah

kikcaffine

Yea it does only on the RS2, the only problem with getting the paint job besides it costing an arm and a leg they would have to pull your engine out to do it correctly.

draxcaliber

yeah, it is expensive as hell to get the car completely repainted another color, and i keep hearing that cars lose value when painted another color.

kikcaffine

Yea, your best bet is to enjoy the color you have and move on.

Yup, unless you like the prospect of spending $5k+ just to satisfy your fancy... trust me, it's probably going to just be cheaper to sell your tC private party and then buy a RS2.0 from someone.

xtigger

I don't know i think you should sell your TC and look for Rs2 and be done with that.

If you got the money...go for the paint! Blitz Blue Mica is way much nicer than Flint Mica.

esh3g

Yah i got the money but i dont know how to do it. do i like go to the paint shop and give them the color code and they paint it or do i have to buy the paint for them and give it to them and they paint it latre im just confused help me

RodC

Just give them the color code. No self-respecting paint shop will require its customers to find and buy the paint.

esh3g

what is blue blitz mica's color code is it: 08Q1

A 16 year old who has $5000+ to drop on a paint job....interesting.

^^ they are a paint shop... lol... go take them the color code, and they will get it right. Also a GOOD full paint job may take upwards of 2-3 weeks (mostly prep work). They had my porsche 944 getting prepped for almost 5 weeks (it was getting a custom kit molded to it, and a complete paint job, including engine bay, door sills, trunk, ect. but it wasnt something they worked on 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. maybe 3-4 hours a day, 4 days a week.



If I had a BBM tC, id get WHITE rims for it.. it will look fantastic.

esh3g

thats why we have parents with good jobs thank god

RodC

Are you sure it's a good idea to waste your parents' money on a paintjob and rims? You should save that money now because in 2 years you'll be out on your áss and a nice paintjob won't put food on the table.

draxcaliber

so your parents bought you a nice car, and now you are going to have them spend another 5 grand to repaint it, and while it is in the shop for several weeks, they are going to either slep you around, or pay for a rental?

esh3g
