Fact is, when it's your name on the title, you can paint it any color you like - even with a roller.

That said, if you don't like the original paint and just gotta change colors, you'll get a lot less flack if you stick with the factory palette - IMHO. When shopping to buy a car, purists certainly will check for original colors, but there are plenty of people who shop for a car in a specific color. A lot depends on whether you're doing this for yourself or reselling the car.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. The more you personalize a car, the greater the risk of a narrower appeal; then, the law of supply and demand really kicks in.
