Default Re-painting an S4

Ok, I know this sounds crazy, but how much would I have to spend to repaint my Silver S4 -> Nogaro Blue?

Would my dealership be able to do this?

I would want to use the exact same paint the factory uses during assembly.

Default how many miles do you have ?

you have a better chance of buying a nogaro used and selling your silver maybe the loss you will take will be less than a paintjob.

Default If you are going to go through the hassle of repainting the entire car...

make it worthwhile and choose a color that would make your car stand out from other S4's, not a color that is factory issued.

Any body shop can do it, but you'll enormously decrease the value of your car.

Default don't do it.. you are better off selling it and getting a nogaro blue s4 if u really want the color

think about it, it will cost at least 5k to get it done right (door jams, etc. painted) which you could easily get a different car for and then when you sell the car you will lose a lot more than that so its really not worth it..
just get a nogaro blue s4 and sell the silver if you really want that color

Default It's Got 10k on it....

I tried to find a Nogaro with low miles, but couldn't do it in the time I had.

I'll just stick with the Silver. It is the fastest color afterall :-)

Thanks S4Granted, but I really don't want a car with that high miles on it. I don't go through many miles per year.
