got a rs2000 thats all stripped and ready for paint,car was red but i want it to look different ,so was going to have it painted moondust silver,will this put people off if i want to sell it .

[Blower]

usually does with the colour police ...

although theres a pic of an RS2 on the RSBB , it looks very much moondust

and i like it

if you wanted a car to make money on you wouldnt have brought a mk2 escort! just do what you want geez, i mean, if everyone thought about the resale value, no one would modify there cars....oh, wait

[gartrack]

lathamescortmk2 i didnt say i wanted to make money out of it.i will proberlly never get back what it owes me as it owes me 8k all i asked was would it still be wanted as it not origanal colour.only asking a bit of advice

[Trickster]

I reckon it will put people off as it aint a original colour, but its your RS mate paint it the colour u want and worry about it later i say

Its very much a personal thing, i went through this with mine, in my opinion, its been red twenty odd years, should really stay that colour, however, its your car, your money, you decide,

that gun smoke grey above is really nice

colour

in my opinion if you are going to change colour it has to be a shell inside and out not just a fast job to the bits you can see or it will damage the resale value but i hate red so go for it and i agree with brian the x pac grey met is fab

hi, i wasnt having a go mate, i was merely saying that the value it will knock off the car will be tiny compared to the amount of money that your probably going to plow into it, so go for it. unless you feel that you couldnt live with a non standard colour car, then thats something youd have to work out. i personally i think its an awesome colour and would rather have it over most standard colours......but then again, im biased as far as silver is concered

Changed an RS2000 from Venetian Red to Black about 10 years ago. Took ages to sell it..........................

Go for what ever you want m8 at the end of the
day its your car and any way its good to be different.
