    How often do you change the paint on your cars?

    Never so far. I habe had one repainted because of some damage on it but I haven't changed the color. Not because I didn't want to. Mostly because the cars I was going to do ended up at the point they were not worth it. Plus the money wasn't going to be cheap because of the quality I would want.

    Same here, the paint and color has never been changed, maybe when it gets really dilapidated then that's the time that my family will consider to re-paint it.

    I have had paint jobs on my cars when I felt that it needed a new design. I like to switch up the looks of my cars from time to time.

    Rarely. To be honest, mine is still the same after 1 year, more than 1 year, it's almost 2 now. It still looks clean so, no problem for me. :p

    Never, but my mom has done it once... some years before her car was stolen :( Her car was white, but she decided she wanted to paint her car in a color i could only describe as ''metalic tangerine''.

    I rarely do a paint job and when it is done it's only because it was necessary. With the present financial strap, It is quite difficult to do what you'd love to do. I have done my car once entirely in years I've had it. the other times it has been done was just by panel, based on where was damaged.

    I only change an old Thunderbird I had since it was a sky or ice blue and it faded greatly. I got a great paint job and made it white and it looked great. The only other time is some repair for clear coat failures.
