The Mustangs of the 60s were that way, no matter what outside color they were.

That would look badass........my car painted DSG with the black under the hood

I would say somewhere around $8,000 to do it completely right with pulling motor and all interior and what not...with a nice wet sand and polish as well

Yeah it can be pretty pricey. I'm going to be painting my Satin Silver a different color in about about a year or so. The silver is just not doing it for me. And I really haven't seen any other silver cars to sway me out of changing the color from silver. It's going to run me about 6k with a long time family friend doing it for me.

Like D said, depends on the quailty you want and what apart of the country your in to. Here in Texas i got for just the out side only 4k to 6k and 6k and up for a complete color change.

But i found a place in new mexico that will do the outside for 3500. They do awsome work, seen several jobs they did. but they are about 8hr away from me but its worth the drive to get the quality i want
