Change Car Color - Toyota Yaris Forums

sheraz2000 · 05-05-2009, 02:11 AM

I have a black yaris, love it. Black looks so gracefull. But i have had it for about a year and a half. I want a change. I want to change the color of the Car. I have read somewhere of some temporary type color coat, that will just help me with what i want keeping the original black color of my car too. Can it be done easily, or some professional help is required. Also, any suggestions for the color i should choose ?

I like dark shades of black though!

something like this ::

I think the easiest non-permanent way to change a car's color is a vinyl wrap?

ya there's a teflon or latex paint out there u can spray on and then pressure wash it off...but u still gotta pay someone to put it on. and every time u wash it it'll change back...

or you can pay 10 grand for an LED paint, put electrodes on each body panel, install a laptop in ur car, and then pay someone another 5 grand to paint ur car and have a tru-color car....just like ur computer. you can pick any color u want and it changes the voltage to the led's and u have different colors...imagine a black car goin under a bridge and then it's neon green on the other side....how cool is that?

hahaha...ya. i'd say open the hood and check out the engine bay for stock color...or, check under the spare tire. or, at best option, use the vin code for color
