I believe owners should be able to do whatever they want to their car. I took my original '71 Six, a rare 1 of 4 metallic gold car, and had it media blasted, rust repaired, etc. and changed it to Irish Green because that was what my wife and I wanted. Of course, this was done the right way so you will never find a speck of metallic gold on that car anywhere. I am sure some purists wanted to have me burned at the stake for that - but I am a big boy and can take the flack.
I do agree that if you can't do it correctly, you should strongly consider leaving it the stock color. Nothing looks worse than seeing a red car, for example, with yellow showing through on the door jambs, chips in the hood etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
