Opinions on Car Values – Repaint’s
I’m thinking about repainting my car and am looking for opinions.
The Hugger Orange paint job on my 69Z is close to 10 years old and has typical road wear as I drive it as much as I can. There are a couple of inconspicuous, self-induced injuries that need repairing, and what I would consider sub-standard body workmanship and preparation that needs to be addressed. The car should have black stripes and a black vinyl roof, but when I bought the car no vinyl roof and the Z stripes were painted white. I don’t have an ounce of paperwork, but based on dates, casting numbers and date stamps I believe I have the born with drive train. Should I decide to have the car repainted with black stripes and spend the $$ to install a black vinyl roof as it left the factory what would I expect? 1) Increases the value just enough to offset the costs to add the vinyl roof. 2) Increase the value a bunch - Don’t hesitate to make the changes back to original. 3) Won’t increase the value one dime - Don’t waste the $$ on the vinyl roof because most people (the market) think vinyl roofs on Camaro’s are ugly. Thanks

Re: Opinions on Car Values – Repaint’s
If you are thinking about selling the car, I'd sell it as is because the cost to do it right will likely be more than the additional money you will get out of it when completed. If you want to keep it but do want to paint it and get as much as possible out of it when you do decide to sell it, put it back to original to maximize the value.

I plan on keeping the car for some time.
