Default Should I get the Stang painted?

My 01' Mustang is yellow, Right now..

I like it, But then I dont like it ... I know most of you will say " If you dont like it, Why did you buy it " ... All I had in my head was " I want a Mustang " and my parents got the car at a good price, So yeah....

To the subject... How many of you all think I should get it painted the Ford Red or Black?? and how much do you think it would cost to get it professionally painted?

It will cost anywhere between $500 for a paint restoration or a minor color change like bright yellow to a darker yellow to $2500+ for a really good professional paint job. Me I love yellow, but if you don't like it then I'd say a bright red would look nice and it last longer then darker red, or black would look good, just depends on what you want. Me I vote to just get the paint restored, but if you want ideas then I say, paint her red and get the inside done black with a red accent.

Avoid white and black paint -- all the dirt shows!

Yeah, black is most definitely frustrating to keep clean. However, when it's clean as can be, it's AMAZINGLY hot. People comment me all the time on how great it looks freshly washed.

I just washed and waxed her today actually and it's sexy!

I'd say if you want to change the color, do it! I personally hate red on almost every car, and most especially mustangs... so my vote goes for black!
