Ferrari 355 colour change respray

[swig000]

I'm new A friend of mine recommended I join pistonheads so here I am.

Now I'm looking at a 355 that is very good value for money, but it's the wrong colour so I'm looking at respraying it red.

Now somebody recommended Asla Automotice I think it was and he looks very good but is really a bit expensive. I was hoping to get the car resprayed for about £3k. Anyway I was wondering if anyone could recommend some reputable companies to do it, preferably in Scotland but I don't really mind if it's not.

Welcome to PH's,
Keep it the colour on the log book or face the hit at resale time.

Thanks. Why would it affect the resale value? Is it because people will think it's been crashed? You have to let the DVLA know when you've changed the colour of a car anyway so would they not just send you a new V5 with tthe new colour on it? Then surely it wouldn't be noticeable? I would tell prospective buyers it's been resprayed anyway and then explain to them why I did it, I'm always honest when it comes to cars.

If you didn't want to go down the repaint route, you could always get it wrapped and then remove this when you come to sell?

I'd rather have it resprayed. Those wrapps look ok, but never as good as proper paint.
