Hi I have a few racecars with decals and all. I'd like to paint them solid black, but want the option to restore the original decals and paint. Is this possible? Or once I paint the beauty will that be it and the paint job lost (save for buying the car again?).
 
bump... this is an important question and I'd greatly appreciate if someone can take the time to answer it.
 
What I've found is once you've painted a car you lose that colour 'til you buy another car with that colour.

Edit: Nevermind,I didn't read closely enough,Mods please delete.
 
Is it allowing to enter the paint section?

I'm shocked that it's even allowing you to paint the car. That would be pretty sweet though.

If true, the ARTA Garaiya (SUPER GT) in Matte Black, might be my next project!

Huh? Seems like you answered the question to me...thanks
 
It's ridiculous that it costs 2 grand to paint your frickin' car. And holy crap is the music horrible on GT Auto. It's still worth 60 bucks but some things in the game seem like they were designed on another planet. Including the Nascar guys face, poor guy....
 
$2,000 is what it would cost in real life to get a paint job done. A good paint job will cost you more, actually.
 
Too bad that once you paint a car lets say with a Red color, that red color will be forever gone :(
Any other ways to save paint other then buying a car to unlock it?

Such a strange way of doing it... do they melt the original car and pour the melted paint into a paint pot or something crazy like that?

Yeah, I was just thinking $2000 for a paint job today is a close to free as you can get. Acceptable paint jobs start at about 5k, and good ones start at about 7k and just keep going up from there.

but if you are attached to your cars like me, i brought a brand new premium honda insight JUST for his sky blue metallic paint for my R32 skyline premium.

I brought a 78k Spoon DC2 race car just for his yellow for my white Honda EK9..

the amount of money im willing to splash for a PAINT job, so charging 2k is fine:yuck:

Yeah, it's elements like this where I wonder what exactly PD is trying to get at. I know they want us to cherish everything we get ("gifts" and such), but something as simple as paint should be free for us to choose. I've never heard of a real life paint shop that needs a sample of a color and can only do that color once until you find another sample.

This is terrible I know, but I kinda like that we lose the chip after we use it. Makes it more rare. And it's like an RPG-- which I'm sure is what PD is thinking (also why many say they're not with the times)-- where you get 1 of something, have to be careful how you use it.

That said, I have no problem purchasing a used car just to get it's paint job!
