hmm.... I was thinking along the same lines as you bro...haha..

Had asked around and they say they will "hang" out the engine and spray. Even the rubber will be removed before spraying.

better to get a white car so it's easier to get the pearl white. otherwise must spray base coat before the final coat. then means your paint will be rather thick.

That's the reason they gave for the 2 weeks that they need to spray the whole car.

hope this helps...

Re: Change car color?

My Alphine White... after two-three years... like getting more and more yellow, especially parked next to those Japanese white cars.
 
Re: Change car color?

Alphine white is normal white? Will pearl white be more resistant to color change? Tks
 
Re: Change car color?

pearl white will look like dusty smoggy white... a look that doesnt last.. worst of all i dont think BMW offers pearl white as standard no?

get apine white...

i always thought pearl white is very ugly.... even on lambos...
 
Re: Change car color?

All colours will fade after some rime, especially white, if you didn't maintain it properly and regularly. My previous ride is a Honda pearl white and it turns yellowish after some time. That's the reason why I didn't get white though it will look real nice on any cars, especially BMWs.

$5k is for what car? Juzz Colours quoted me $2.5k to change colour for E90.

Re: Change car color?

careful in choosing your workshop... there only a few good enough and even fewer does inside part of engine compartment and boot area...

not naming who is good and who is not ... just do your own research... u pay peanuts u get monkeys..

i have seen really bad change colour paintjob... that u might as well sell the car and buy new one

$2.5k exclusive of replacement parts iirc.

IMHO you should use alpine white instead of pearl white else your 730i will look like a camry :p
