I'm considering a colour change, any ideas on the price difference between having all my parts painted, or just doing and entire re-paint of the car?

Obviously changing the entire car colour will be more expensive, but since I am having 75% of the exterior replaced and painted anyways I would think now would be the ideal time?

I'm leaning heavily towards either a dark gunmetalic (GT-R) colour or doing a matte silver.

Something that doesn't show scratches or dirt, I'm really sick of having to wash my car 2x weekly(currently black) just so it doesn't look filthy.

Any thoughts or price estimates?

Thanks
I wanted to get a custom color (Cobalt Green) at purchase and I was laughed at. I have since learned to love silver. It is great in the sun, dirt shows minimally, and low on the police radar. No way would I pick BS as a custom color though. Too common.


OP: any other clues about your likes and dislikes color wise? Do you want stock or any color will do? Yellow- CY stands out, and is unusual on a Z, but I imagine must be hard to keep clean, same for "themann1984: Lambo orange!" suggestion.
