Complete Ferrari nose to tail colour change and respray

[DrYazz]

Has anybody gone for a complete colour change on their Ferrari?

I am strongly considering turning my red F355 into a white one. Don't know why, just think it will make the car more distinctive and it will pull off the colour well.

Can someone post pictures of their or other white F355s?

What advice would you give regarding this?

Couple of things to bear in mind. Firstly, white is a very "trendy" colour at the moment, but in a year or two it probably won't be. So my advice would e to look at wraps. I think they are about £1500.

If your sure you want to go ahead with a respray then your looking at around £4k for a good job and trust me with a Ferrari you want a good job

Hope that helps

Have never followed motoring or fashion trends, and do not intend to start now.

White just looks right (for me). If it looks right now, it will look right in 5, 10 or 15 years (for me, at least).

Some white 355s

The 4th and final picture, the Berlinetta with standard alloys, is absolutely stunning.

Yea get it painted. As long as your not one of these anal " will i loose money on it", go for it. They look great i think. There are quite a few 288s and F40 that have been painted white as well.

And Ferrari's are easy to colour change compared to most cars dur to all the door shuts and engine bay etc all being black whatever colour the car is!

Changed the colour of my 348 from mettalic black to straight black.

I think a white 355 would look very nice.

Get it painted not wrapped..
I'm yet to see a wrap that looks as good as paint & after a year or so it looks crap IMO
To all you wrappers out there, when you get a present this X-Mas take the outside stuff off cos what was intended for you is underneath !!

Interesting vid of an F430 Spider being wrapped here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3LPfHk3gKo

Creative FX also wrapped my GT-R in metallic purple and most people can't believe it's a wrap.
They've also done Jenson Button's GT-R (and his manager as well apparently).

I agree it's not the best solution for a permanent change, but for a year or two it will protect your original paintwork without devaluing your car whilst you can decided whether you really want to go for a full respray.

If you get a wrap, do you have to change the colour of your car on the V5? I could see the police not being massively impressed if they ran your reg plate and your car appeared to be a different colour!

No ,you dont need to inform DVLA. Not a permanent change.

Your 348TB does look good in those photos.

Did the respray resolve the corrosion issues around the windscreen and rear wheel arch?

One of our members from here has just had his F40 painted black from red back at the factory in Italy, pics I have seen so far look epic.

This is the company Ferrari will have used for the F40 repaint. Zanassi do all of the out of range paint finishes for Ferrari on new cars as well and are located next to the Fiorano test circuit.
