What does a full repaint do to a 911's value?
We all talk perecentage of the 5 different colors of blues or reds cars, but not much about white.
I was picking up some parts in northern New Jersey for my car, about 4 or 5 years ago, and there was a 996.2 Aero, pure white, red leather, white roll bar and BBS chrome wheels, lowered about an inch, just a great color combination, very classy.
Wow what a great looking car. Never saw owner it was parked at a shop.
There's a local (to me, New England) white on black 99 C2 from CA with 175k miles and a rebuilt by 911 Design engine with 90mm pistons (3.6L?) near me thats been for sale for a while, $14,500. Saw it marked down to $13,500 at one point.
You got it. It's been posted twice, once at $14.5k and once at $13.5k
$13.5

I'm an original owner of an 04 c4s cab with 50,000 miles on it and was thinking about having it repainted.
I was wondering if it would affect the value or if I should just have it touched up and wet sanded?

I know I would, personally, but I admit I don't think a quality $10k full paint job adds $10k of value, it just wouldn't hurt value is all.
I just got my 03 C4S (black) back yesterday from the shop, having had the front bumper, front panels, front hood, and rear bumper all repainted. I really should have done the whole thing, but the doors and body I can probably get close with a good detail. It looks like a different car. My front bumper had some pretty serious chipping, the hood had two popped-up dents (from the previous owner putting something too big in the frunk) that got smoothed out, had the front right/left panels resprayed to match, and then the rear bumper had already been redone before I got it, but was a pretty rough job, and had 1-2 small bubbles in it that were getting bigger, so did that as well. Not posting how much I paid, but it wasn't too bad. Also the headlights got a good scrubbing and that dropped the age on my car 5 years easy as they were pretty cloudy.
As someone said, you might not get all your $ back, but I plan to keep this at least another 2 years, and as my daily driver, I'd much rather spend the $ and be proud of it and showing up at PCA events with this now. I'd avoided them in the past lol.
