I always wondered what my Arctic Silver 996 would look like painted in the color of my SC...Rosewood Metallic (classic 70s/80s color)

Just curious, how much does a full repaint cost? I've been thinking of doing mine in Gulf Blue some day (not soon, lol).

A proper full respray is big money. I've seen some paint jobs that cost 30k.

Why not do a wrap for a few grand and pick any color you want?

Agree with Macster in getting the damage repaired with a good blend from reputable shop makes the most sense.

One of the other auto museum board members had his 996tt color changed from silver to Mexico Blue last year. Very high quality paint job, door jambs, etc. all done. $11,000.

I am looking at about 10K for the work.

Was thinking of staying silver to ease the work on the door jamb. I do like the gemini blue....

That's be an easy $20k plus in cali.

If the wifey sideswiped the car is there insurance coverage that would minimize the cost?
