Default Special Paint

Does a car having a special paint (--) trim tag add any significant value to the car?

i doubt it too..

just depends on what the colors is and if its a special car like a brass hat or special zone car for display or a movie

people want special things..like the "only one" so that could be a factor

Thanks Bill and Mark for your replies. What about a Z/28 or SS stripe delete car?

I think for situations where a color (like black) wasn't available that year and only a handful can be documented as being special ordered in black (like my old 1972 Formula 455HO Firebird that they made two customer ordered cars in black), it certainly does. It was around a 30% bump in value when I sold it as compared to a standard color.

I disagree – I find that no different than repainting a Fathom Green car Hugger Orange.

That being said, while I'm not a wheeler/dealer, I do think a special-order color can add value....but only to the right person.

Agreed. A unique color (especially with a good story) will attract some people.
