Any thoughts on whether this is a good/bad/ok idea would be greatly appreciated. The current paint job is in good condition with only a few chips and scratches and there is no rust anywhere on the car, but right now it's my mother's car and it'll never be mine if it stays this color =(.
the only reason it wouldn't be a good idea is if you don't have enough money to get the whole thing painted. its gonna cost quite a bit more to completely change the color because its gonna be a whole lot more labor to do the engine bay, trunk and door jambs. I say get some quotes so you can see the difference between repainting a similar color so you dont have to do the jambs, trunk and engine bay, and doing the whole thing. I think that will be the deciding factor.
