Is it possible / resonable to change the color of the 360?

Hello everyone.

I live in a country that there aren't many 360s in a good condition for sale. The only one that I found is a silver with a black interior. I have tried to get used to it and think it as a nice color or as a mere detail but in reality I would be never 100% satisfied with it.

So my question is: Is it possible to paint the car in other color and even change the leather interior with a resonable cost and looking like it was original ?

thanks.

 

Bottom line....no

I don't think the interior leather is that big of a deal, but if you are changing the original paint color, you are going to be hard pressed to find a buyer if you decide to sell unless you provide a receipt showing this was a complete frame strip down and respray....still wouldn't do it.

If you can't find the car with the right color combo, you can always have the car professionally wrapped the color you want

 

Agree with above. Wrap it. Spray the headlights on the inside if you want. The next owner will either buy a new pair because they're fogged to all heaven or just open and convert back to original.

 

Nothing is impossible, but this is NOT a good idea. If there aren't many cars around where you live, not only don't you have a good choice of colors, I would imagine you also have a limited choice of cars from which to choose of any color. That means the prices are less competitive and you may have to settle for something of the wrong color and other compromises as well.

Can't you find a car in another country and import it to where you live? Shipping isn't exactly free but it's WAY less than a complete paint job in a new color. I'll bet you could find a car from a country with financial difficulties where many are on sale (which drives the price down) and you could save enough to pay for your air fare and shipping. Plus, it could turn into a nice mini-vacation. Italy comes to mind.

 

The law in the country where I live do not allow anyone to impprt an used car except for collections (must be at least 30 years old), so, unfortunetally, this is not a possibility. And tes, there arent many f cars here, but I found one that is just in perfect condition with les thab 10k miles on it and very well serviced. Only problem is the color..

 

What country is that, if you don't mind me asking.

 

If you have enough money, you can have the car completely stripped down to nothing and have a new paint job applied that is much better than the factory.
If you are not made of money, I would say no.

 

This would be quite an expensive project.

Suggestion: get the car, keep it in its current color and wait a year. You might find another car in the color you like, you might decide you like the car in this color. Both are far less expensive options. Or you might decide you really do want to spend the money and change the color. Just be aware, it will be very very expensive both outside and inside.

 

Almost anything is possible if you are willing to spend enough money. Reasonable? Not so much.

 

It won't be reasonable cost but life is short and if money is not a problem, then do what pleases you.

 

possible yes, reasonable no

 

Have it wrapped in any color you want.

White wraps look awesome on 360s

If a wrap won't cut it for you, maybe you should just buy a different model than 360 in a color you like.

 

Here is a video I hadn't seen before. It shows the wrap process but is probably also the some of the work involved for a re-spray.

The OP seems to have the money, so I reckon at least with a wrap it can be undone without the danger of losing more money than he would have to at sale time.
A full repaint is a big ask, but it would need to be a full glass out bare metal job.

I vote wrap....or just live with Silver.

 

I vote scud stripe in the color he really likes on top of the silver.

 

Given a big budget, anything is possible.

Is this a first Ferrari? What's the bet we are talking change to red/tan?

What country is this that does not allow imports?

 

Thanks everyone for the help.

Answering some questions:

- It is not a country that does not allow imports, it just allows brand new cars or vintage cars (30+ years) to be imported. Dont ask me the reason for that, I couldn't answer.

- First Ferrari and yes i would go for red / tan, but if i had found a giallo or blue tdf wouldn't be thinking about changing colors.

-The budget i've got for the car does not allow me to choose other models. In my country there are very, very few models other than the V8s and the 355s prices are really up and most in very bad condition. The 430 costs $100k more.

About the wrapping, have anyone seeing cars that were wrapped? Are the results actually good? Is it possible to wrap in a metalic color without making it look like a vynil?

Thanks everyone once more and sorry for my bad english.

 

Is it Iran?

 

Latin America. Wouldn't like to say specifically which country because there is only one (at least that i am aware) argento nurburgring 360 here.
