So I have a 2000 Civic DX that I am going to be selling.
But I need a paint job. Car is grey already or silver...I was thinking of painting it as close to chrome color as possible.
What do you guys think...to be different and sell FASTER.
Here is a car I found on the net and I put my car next to it. I also want to polish the Fat Fives and think it will look cool.

A chromed out looking paint job may look quite interesting, but if you make it the way YOU want it, you seriously limit your buying audience.

I'd say leave it as close to stock as you can, it would appeal to a larger cross section of potential buyers.

If someone is gonna mod their car, they usually want it to be their own creation.

JMHO

yeah I wouldn't repaint it something that custom just to sell it. I doubt you would get anything close in return to what you pay for paint.

...why would you waist $2000 to wrap a car then sell it for $1500? (or whatever your prices are).

As well it would look horrible! The juxtaposition in the two very diverse visual languages you would be attempting to bridge, would not work well.

One is the visual language of mass production (cheap, utilitarian), and, the other is the visual language of customization ("one off," expensive).

Without the body kit and rims shown in that "photochopped" rendering, a paint scheme that dramatic would clash with the OEM design. (it also wouldn't be paint it would be a wrap).

Just leave it silver. It's a Civic, it should sell fast regardless of the color.

Silver it is...Paint only...Maybe little more silver in the mix of the paint...Thanks all.
