Default Highlander green paintjob

I doubt I'd go through with it but appx how much would it run me to get a professonal paint job done in highlander (I think that was the name of the color in bullitt) on an '06 vert? I'd imagine we're looking at 2-3k?

I know Ford has the color code since Motor Trend borrowed it to piant one so it shouldn't be too hard to get it for a shop. Any estimates? Who knows, maybe when I feel the need for something new I'll go for a diff color instead of a diff car.

12-16 grand. Engine and engine compartment components need to be pulled. If you had a black GT and wanted to leave the engine compartment non-matching (in black) 5-7 grand. ...door jams alone are a nightmare; trunk is no piece of cake. ...lots of disassembly. I wouldn't go there. The Bullit may come out one day in the current body style and your car will drop in value like a ROCK! Forget you even had this thought!!!!

AGREED!!!!! A proper color change is a HUGE job and it's expensive because of all the labor.

I wouldn't do it unless I already had a car stripped apart for a restoration or rebuild. Never on a new car.
