Keep it red and spend the money elsewhere.

Keep it red. Milano red is such a great color as it is. If you must paint it...go with Satin silver.

Although it would look dope, it would scream "steal me" even more, if you must paint it, do something subtle.

not to mention that it takes a HUGE amount of money to completely change the color of the car and make it look like it came that way originally. Then there's resale value. If you don't pull the entire engine out of the car and pretty much strip the whole thing, then you end up with a red engine bay on a yellow car. Imagine trying to sell it to someone after them seeing the red/yellow, and the fact that it's obviously been repainted. Yes the Milano red can fade over time and look crappy, but that's if you neglect it. If you take good care of the paint it will look awesome for the life of the car.

IMO, a total WASTE of money to paint a practically brand new car...Unless you have money falling out of your pockets.

Red. Yellow screams "pull me over" officer.

It's just too loud IMO.
