Well its time for a new paint job. Currenlty bright yellow, however yellow is not for me. Just wondering what colors really look the best. I really don't care about factory specs. I just want it to look sharp. i have polished svx wheels and the rest of the D90 is trimmed in black. I have searched multiple pictures and am just looking for suggestions.
So far it looks like it might be staying yellow. Althought the body is in mint condition, the painter wants $1000.00 more just to change the color. My current yellow paint is really in rough shape and needs a fresh start.

If one were to do a color change, you would pull the entire body to bits anyway. I'm surprised that the $$ diff between spraying an assembled vehicle's exterior only and a complete color change is only $1k.
Spraying over the old color never even entered my mind. I have the result of that on my truck now and it's ****. That's why I'm going to disassemble, remove paint and do it properly (unlike previous owner).

Makes sense to me, a color change requires more way more prep than the same color and will use extra product as well.
The painter also said it will take some extra coats if i go with something lighter like white. The entire truck is disassembled, it just needs prepped and painted.
