I have a 2004 scion xB hot lava, and I was thinking about painting everything that is gray in the car orange, as well as my cover on the motor. Is it worth it or not? lol

 

depends on if you ever want to sell the car, if you like it do it, but i would go ahead and by replacement parts before you paint them so when you get tired of it or you want to sell it you dont have to try and find parts to replace the painted ones

 

True dat man! hahah, great thinking lol

 

I just don't know where I could find these other than the dealership lol.

 

junkyard, buy it a little at a time, ya dont want to be waiting to trade it in or sell it later and have to pay a premium for the parts. personally i dont modify anything on my car that cannot be reversed .i e. i buy replacements first

 

Do it man. Just re-paint it silver if your planning on ever selling.

 

hahah, damn, I don't know what to do lol. And should paint it with a real gun or should I get my colour done in a spray can and do it with that? And I don't think they would have any scion parts at a scrap yard here, I mean, I live in Canada lol, they wouldn't have anything hahah.

 

I did mine with spray paint [White] it came out great. I have a tC but its the same thing. just make sure u sand well and clean it really well. Prime.Paint.Clear [Optional] Done

 

Alright, thanks for the tips. Do you have any pics of the outcome? I just wanna see what it looks like, like if its too much white for the car lol, because I don't want mine to be too much orange lol.
