Paint Job!!!!!!
depending on your current color and the color you are wanting to change it to, it can be somewhat inexpensive to very expensive. I have a NBP vic, and was gonna paint it pearl white and then go over it with three coats of blue pearl. however, i decided not to go for it when i got some prices from bodyshops. the lowest quote i got was around 7 grand. and the highest was upwards of 12 grand. that was to remove and paint all doors jams, trunk lid (inside and out), hood (inside and out), inside of doors, basically anything that is NBP. remember too when checking around at bodyshops/paint booths to ask what type of painting system they use, i was only looking at places that use an updraft system ( which removes particles from the air so the dont fall back onto the car and spot it). but, the main reason that my quotes were so expensive were because of how drastic i was wanting to change the color. for now though, i am going to triple coat with a blue pearl.

Things to consider...
Certain colors are going to be more expensive. Clear coating adds $$. Labor, paint, etc it all adds up. The paint alone can run anywhere from 400-5000$ and up.
Just things to remember
