    My dad got me an 360 for my birthday/college graduation gift. He wont let me repaint it, what do you think about taking it to maaco? Its red and I would prefer black so that it draws less attention.

    Maaco would be a great choice. Just make sure you install a 3M clear bra soon afterwards to protect that lovely new paint.

    Nah, don't go to Maaco. I think you will be much better off with a roller, foam paintbrush, and some self-adhesive unicorn stickers............ Don't forget to paint the windows so nobody can see when you pick your nose.........

    Perhaps you should look into driving the car off a cliff.

    In all seriousness repainting a Ferrari is terrible for resale. And if you do want to repaint it, there are many reputable shops, Maaco is not one of them.

    a new paint job (completely new color) at well-known paint shops that do ferraris, will run you around $15,000.
    downtime: ~ a month

    expensive? hell yes, but that is the price to pay

    Yeah, $15,000 for a good paint job.........devaluation of car .........inestimable, or as a previous posters suggested ...drive it off a cliff.

    You won't get any serious Ferrari enthusiast interested in after it has been painted for no other reason other than to change the color.

    Wake up and smell the coffee. Leave the car alone.

    Your father should have let you wait until you are financially capable of buying whatever color you wanted yourself.

    What's the reason why you want to paint it? Is it bubble gum blue?

    It's beyond me why you want to repaint your Ferrari. I just can't understand why you would want to do that with a car like the 360. Maybe you just have too much money.

    Why not putting a sticker on it? Someone in 2005's Gumball did it to his Gallardo, to make it look like a policecar. But when he opened the door, you could clearly see it was originally yellow. Much cheaper than painting and you can remove it easily.

    I honestly believe that you are a complete liar. Only an idiot would want to repaint a new Ferrari which they didn't pay a single penny for. You are wasting everyones time with this thread. You don't have a Ferrari. The only way I'll believe that you do is to post a picture of you doing a handstand in front of your "car".

    I think this is the best suggestion plus you would be able to change the color anytime and at a minimal cost.

    Thanks for all the serious suggestions everyone. I looked into the 3M clear bra but cannot find one specific to the 360, is there anything similar out there? Also, I talked to Maaco and they assure me they can match the quality of any other place for a fraction of the cost. Even if you have lots of money its still stupid to spend more for no good reason. Oh, and I like the sticker idea, but it seems like too much work.

    First of all....what the hell are you talking about! I thought you wanted to repaint your car, not get a 3m bra, and there is a 3m bra for the 360 oh wait sorry youve been looking for the bra at autozone! Try a ferrari dealer, theyll laugh in your face! Second of all, I want a picture of your car with you having the drivers side window half down and the lights on! do that and then we will try to believe your not some 5 year old dreaming of a ferrari with hotwheels. But I have another suggestion, sell the car and get a black one. Or just go back to maaco and get your 140,000 ferrari repainted next to an escort that got t-boned! If your planing on repainting a ferrari as an graduatuion gift, you most likely graduated from the local community college that daddy sponsers.
