Default Performance != Paint
This is the performance forum. Unless repainting your car will improve its performance, ask that question elsewhere.

Default even though DAP is kicking you out
painting the entire car a different color is a total PITA. keep it the same color so you dont have to paint things like the engine bay

Entire color change? To do it right, probably $4-5k. My same-color respray 5 years ago ran me $3k+, and there are some things I am not happy with. Remove any trim before the car is painted, and paint the trim off the car if applicable.

Default I could justify the subject of paint being a performance item......
'cause if you strip it all off, you'd save like.....8-10 pounds, eh? :-P

Why wait for rust? Get the drill/hole saw and start making speed holes!
