I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

You need to close your eyes and think about your car when it's finished. What color is it? If you can't do that, don't paint yet. If you can, then you have your answer.

In my head, my car is a specific color, finally, so now I can paint, once it reaches priority.

Exactly, but that's part of the process. The fact that I let you know what I'm thinking = Secret Squirrel.

if money is an factor...then i would say re-spray the MR....engine bays can be expensive to spray...but if your going to do a swap then i would just say paint it whatever color you want. while the motor is out. :up:
