Just a thought, Chris....
what about "wrapping" it in black, seeing if you like it, if you don't, remove it and go back to the original colour??

Plenty of "wrapped" cars around, one close to me is wrapped in a radio station's garish 3 tone, but is yellow underneath (you would'nt know until you open the bonnet or doors...............)

Idea??

im not sure a colour change would concern me. what would concern me is if that colour change hadnt been extended to the interior panels, door shuts, under bonnet etc. it needs to be a good job, otherwise that would put me off, so its more about quality of paintwork than colour change itself. if i think you've cut corners on paint then what else have you cut corners on? as others have said documenting the cars history and the work on here will prove you've nothing to hide, but ive seen a red corsa vxr with arden blue paint on the outside only and it looks horrific.

im planning a colour change on my cavalier, but will be bare metal spray. my irmscher mv6 will be getting a lick of paint but will be black again *sorry to rub it in* hehehehe!
