neat color, but i wouldnt paint over Hibiscus with it.

[hibiscusS4]

oh right lets clear that up lol... i have a hibiscus and a silver s4
the silver would be going merlin

hahaha ahhh then ignore everything i said. Paint over that silver!

Why not wrap it instead? Can be removed and wouldn't effect value of car, even considering how rare silver is...

[hibiscusS4]

maybe ive always thought wrap was around the same damn price as paint i should educate my self more on wrap though

[james 408]

nix the wrap, paint looks far better imho. and you have my vote. Gonna have to put up with people commenting on you driving a purple car though... not sure responding 'it's merlin pearl' is really gonna get you out of it either =P

and yes wrap is similar pricing

Wrap is way cheaper than a proper paint job, but I'd think removal would be a bitch considering you'd have to get all that adhesive off as well. I'd only consider a wrap if I had no intention of removing it.

[james 408]

wrap removal is pretty easy i'm told. there are dissolvants for it.

very nice color!
if you can get the motor out, and do most,if not all, of the prep-work. you can get the cost of a paint job down a LOT!
the body shop will charge you labor for all of these things, removing an engine can take you 2-3 hours if you can DIY, or a body shop can charge you 10-15+hours of labor to remove it and put it back in once the job is done. the prep work is also a ton of labor that gets expensive.

you make their life easy by doing the hard part, and save yourself a ton of cash. send it in on a trailer and have them paint it properly. get it back and assemble :)

well i have no intention of taking it off haha ive always loved hibiscus and i think merlins cool as hell beats silver any day. as for the purple car thing hey its a f21 car on meth... whats in your car it can be pink if i wanted it to and still faster then most who would talk anyways haha
