HELP! What color next!!?

OK, so the Silver 2001 Diablo 6.0 that I had re-done in OEM Ballon White turned OUT PERFECT!!

I have two MORE Silve Diablo 6.0 cars left...I am going to re-do another, but in what color??

1) Itacha Green


2) LP640 Gun metal Gray

Both Have Black Interiors.

Maybe I've missed someting, but did you get a fleet buy on silver 6.0s? Doesnt respraying hurt the potential value?

I had a total of 5 in stock, re-did one to Pearl White, sold one, kept one for me and have two left..

as far as value...I have never and never will consider a car a VALUE item,

they are toys to enjoy first...then if you come out ok on them that is extra

I prefer to drive and enjoy what I WANT regardless of holding or not any value...

But to each his own.

have you seen the values of silver 6.0s? especially the big flake ones. Any color short of pink has to increase their values

Who cares about value? Do you honestly buy your cars hoping to sell them at same price?


here is a quote that is for people that always complain about their exotics value.

"Not putting miles on your exotic is like not having sex with your Girlfriend so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend."


And OP i would definitely go with the green!

I prefer the gunmetal, but honestly, I think the green would be a better choice. Just a little different.

Now thats the attitude. I am so tired of people spending 200k on a car and worrying about RESALE. Who gives a **** you just spend 200k on a car. If you spend that much on a car money is not issue so get what you like. You my man are the exception to the rule and i have a ton of respect for you because of that.

Maybe I should change to this forum, although I am a Porsche fan. I could never understand why people buy expensive cars and then treat them like precious garage queens. So many of the discussions on the Porsche threads are about depreciation, worry about resale value, etc...

If your primary isn't in driving or racing the cars hard, then why buy them? Unless you are a collector - I would collect stamps or watches.

I like the analogy about girl friends. I once HAD a beautiful model as my mate and f*cked her brains out. It was a blast, like racing an open wheel formula car at the track.

Wow. Lots of panties in bunches. I was asking how repainting it effects the value. Is i easier to sell a car that has been wrapped or painted? All the sudden I am not living life, and in clear violation of every car-guy code imaginable.

Where I come from, a car that has been resprayed is worth less than one that hasn't. Yes cars should be driven and enjoyed to the fullest, but unless you have more money than Tiger Woods, you are a FOOL if you take NO THOUGHT as to resale, value, and potential liability. Good luck with your financial mediorocrity. Cars are depreciating assets (save a select few), but some depreciate more than others, and there are things humans can do to make one depreciate faster than the other. Ya dig? Peace love and Enzo Ferrari.





Since Roy got a fleet deal, and he wants to paint one, I would go for Rosso Vik plz,
What about Grigio Telesto?
