It is...

Good choice to stay with the original color. Unless you go to huge extents to rip EVERYTHING out, color changes leave tell-tale signs...

I'm considering my mahogany brown being painted to maraschino red. Its actually pretty close to the engine bay color and doorsills.

Any thoughts?

Creepy, oh wait...WOW. It's 3am over here. Gimme a break! It's not like I can catch all the innuendo that comes out of my fantastical brain.

Sexy brown as in rich & metallic, something that when you see it, the car goes "POP!"

That green is amazing but now that i have seen it I can never do it...... i would be too worried that it would not look exactly like that car... and if green is not done right it can look really really ugly.

I have a similar dilemma with an very early 1983 euro 944 that was interesting enough to warrant a good paint job, only problem was the original red paint that I am not crazy about. In the end, it would have been too much work to color change properly, so it will stay red, but single stage like the early cars so maybe it won't be so bright. I would have loved one of the dark blue colors that they had then. I'm hoping the red will grow on me.
