Dean_mc88 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Do people think painting the engine bay a different colour will effect the sale price ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Personally I think that you change everything else on the car that it won't matter at all unless it's not to the buyers taste. Unless it's a complete OEM build I'd go for it. These aren't Classic ferraris where you have to have matching chassis & engine numbers with original paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good point I think il go for it cheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 100% go for it mate, if it's a quality job that's only going to reflect the effort spent elsewhere on the car. It would personally be a plus if I was looking to buy as long as the colour was to my taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I did it and regretted it. Much prefer the oem plus look. If i was to do it again i would repaint in the same colour as the car and properly shine it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'd only ever paint the bay the original colour I've seen a few painted bays and thought wtf 🙈 It's all personal preference I suppose .. On re sale value it would definitely put me off buying a potential car as its a big job to put right if it not to the new buyers taste Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Like you say it's personal preference, I think as long as it goes with the theme of the car it can look really good however I have seen some that just don't go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gotta be sensible with it like people have mentioned. Ive done mine white as its a track car and there is a purpose too it. I do want to lick the whole car white in the future too so that was another bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If your looking to sell the car in the future then I wouldn't if its for keeps then yeah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
