Lmaooooo. You're too damn funny Brad.

And I'm one who disagrees with his post. My Cobra is painted and I seriously doubt my value has gone down down down down down down down lmao.

Yep, especially the black and TR's. Don't think anyone is going to care that much that those two colors are painted, with how common they are. An SB, CO, or MC might be a different story

Visit a quality wrap shop in town and see some of your options. The red interior is cool, so while it will limit your exterior choices, it'll still go with many.
I'd probably look for something unique like a matte silver, either light or dark, plus hard to go wrong with white.
Good luck.

Yes white seems to look cleanest longest.
Reds as well. I have a buddy with a ‘14 Coyote and it’s one of the reds they offer. He barely washes it and it always looks good.

Value affect from painting comes from 2 different viewpoints. For someone just looking for a fun driver, they probably wouldn’t care much if a car was painted (properly). A collector, on the other hand, would steer clear of a painted car and would most certainly steer clear if the paint involved a color change. So, yes, the value would go down from a collector’s viewpoint.

As these cars get older, collectors will make up more and more of the owners. Cars with original paint will be desired. A wrap is a good route though... you can get whatever color you’d like and it will actually protect the paint underneath. Just don’t have orange and red on the same car!

Yes this guy got me . I’m more for a original collector point of view.

I would say wrap any color you like . Again black is bad ass color . I was looking for black cobra . Torch Red was my second choice . I don’t have third choice .

Again I don’t give 2 $&$& about my English lol . I can speak and understand 3-4 languages . Most people’s here in America only can speak and understand English and they still Not perfect .

But would you paint your cobra different color tho ?

Don’t listen some these guys bro . People’s just like see you mess up . I’m pretty sure most wont want do thing to themselves but want other to do it .

Only time I would do paint different color is . Strip the car Completely down . Every interior panel engine off . And paint everything to that color and put every thing back . Because once you pop the hood and see engine bay is different color , it’s big turn off.

Wrap the cars to the color you like . Leave the original color alone . Mabe some one out there having co looking for black cobra . I’m done here good luck ....

Why don’t you try a ceramic coating first before wrapping? It keeps that menacing looking black and might stay or be at least easier to clean? Around here in SoCal, wraps are like $3k bucks. IMO total waste of money for something that isn’t even permanent.

It’s not showing off if people are asking about it. Showing off is making a thread and saying hey look at me..

Wrap it in lead foot gray....looks awsome with red and wouldn’t look horrible with black door jams etc.
