Jase Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 What are the general views in the TR world of a colour change? My car was originally Conifer but has since been sprayed a shade of BRG. I like Conifer and am a huge fan of Brooklands but my wife has suggested white or 'wedgewood' blue. Is it a huge problem when selling a car (not any time soon but not getting any younger) to have a colour change? I.e would it put you off? Just to add my car will never be concours bit will be an A1 condition car eventually Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyB1 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I suspect that any replies will fall into 2 groups. The " originality at all costs" brigade ( a bit silly really as all cars will have had replacement parts by now, so cannot strictly be original) and those that will say "It's your car, paint it whatever colour you want" As it is already the non-original paint, what difference does it make if you change it to another? Bear in mind though that interior trims were "matched" to paint, so it could look a little odd if you choose the wrong combination of paint to trim. I don't think anyone would be able to accurately judge what difference a colour change makes to the value of the car, especially considering that, as you acknowledge, your car is not concours. Please yourself, not others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Your car you can paint it whatever colour you like, though if your going for a colour change then its always better to do the whole thing inside and out rather than just blow round the outside.

Stuart. With Stuart, do it properly if your going to do it. Any new buyer will be put off a little opening boot/bonnet to find it has not been totally covered.

Jase Posted September 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Thanks for the feedback, I will have to do the inside and outside regardless as whoever previously painted the car changed the colour everywhere (not well) so it needs to be done again.
