Cool Regret your choice of color?

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/06/bmw-own...k-car-to-white/

I would consider this if I am bored with the color of my car and the price is reasonly. Think about it. You can change the color every year!

Wow! That is pretty cool. It does not mention anything about effects of heat. I would think this would be an issue, especially on the hood area.

Wow, if it looks as good in person as it does in those pics I'd definitely consider this (cost prohibiting).

The benefits of being near a place that can do this quality of job would be tremendous to anyone who frequently changes cars.

First you could shop around for a car of any color since you could change it to match what you want after you purchase it (this was a problem for me at least when looking for a good condition ap1 with decent mileage). Then while you own the car you could change it's color as often as you want/afford. And when you go to sell the car the paint would be immaculate since it would have been protected from rain/sun/rocks.

Proof once again that GPW is better than BB

But seriously, I wonder how much this costs. I bet it's not really cheap and may cost something along the lines of the whole 3M ClearBra thing, which can be several hundred dollars.

. Not a bad idea at all. Definitely if it looks good in person as it does in the pictures, it is something nice to think about.

Looks like it costs somewhere between $2-4k. For that much and only lasting 3-4 years id rather have my whole car repainted. Interesting idea though and if the price came down then Id probably consider it.
