CW to White white

[dave c]

a quick question really, as much as i love the colour of my DC5 (the old fav champ white) is it wrong to want to change it to a "proper" white???

Like the white from BMW's or Merc's or even audi's or volvo's. their whites are so much whiter lol.

I'm torn, i want to do it but im not sure if i can justify the £1500 or what ever a decent respray would be to have essentially the same colour...

Anyone got any thoughts

IMHO i would not spend the money to spray it 'white white'! Although!!!!!
I have seen pics of a yellow DC5 and it looked good? may be an idea!!??

Yeh, I have a thought!

If your going to re spray from CW to pure white, what about a nice shade of yellow?

With red seats and dark wheels it would look 8) IMO.

Just a thought :wink:

i know what your saying but tbh if i want a completely different colour i might as well sell mine and buy a different one, i really like the red ones but i like my car as it has nice clutch race lsd low miles and its my little baby lol. but white white, i could be tempted its just... is it worth it? probs not but i am keen to do it

I think you just answered your own post with that last line in bold :lol:

I would stick to CW an personalise the car in a different way, carbon............... :wink:

Or some more power mods, they are always good!!!!! 8)

I'm glad someone else has had this thought!

I parked next to an arctic white scooby and realised how 'dirty' my magnolia dc5 looked.

However i decided that it might be hard to sell a white teg, that wasn't an oem white. Not many people are going to believe that you're not trying to cover something up.

I think the S2K comes in a white white, called Grand Prix white IIRC.

Do it Dave!!!! :lol: :lol:

I don't know, i am 50/50 on this idea. Would like to see one done before i made any choices. It would look unique but a shade of yellow would look nice imo.

You might put people off when you come to sell it..

I'd be thinking it'd had a respray to hide something :?

Thats actually a valid point. But i suppose you could have receipts etc from the spray garage and offer to have the car FULLY checked before sale to prove it was done as a mod so to speak.

Do it Dave,

Your car will look awesome and stand out.

It can look different from this crowd.

Anyone got any thoughts

Shoulda bought a red/black/blue one ? :lol:

 

[premadonna555]

Paint it Top Secret Gold! :lol:

For the nit pickers among us - if you spray the car using a straight 900 tinter with no yellow or black in the mix then it can't actually be considered white due to the absence of pixelation.

What makes a colour white is the characteristic added by other tinters.

 

[Livvy]

Its ok to paint it, but what about when it coms to selling? People will want to know why and think its been in a smack.

 

[dave c]

all valid points about resale but i think it would look really nice. well its not gonna happen atm maybe bonus time of the year

Keep it as is ...

I've got a white Subaru & a CW DC5 :wink: The difference is quite noticeable when the two are parked together. I'll get a pic up so you can see.

TX.
