original paint or change

Does changing from the original factory color devalue the vehicle?

i would think if it trying to be kept original in all aspects and you were selling to a buyer that wanted all original ... then yes ..... but for everyone else .... heck no... paint her up how ever you want and enjoy the new paint job..... this is of course only my opinion... but i think its a good one... just like all my opinions

i would however recommend if you are changing the color that you paint everything the same.... door jams... trunk and the engine bay....etc. if you dont it looks kinda cheesy
