BUT, the part of me that has been collecting correct numbered thermostat housings and dated evap cannister is laughing at the idea of going that far with a rotisserie resto and painting the "wrong" color.

Previous posts are correct. It's about the buyer when it comes to valuation at the time of purchase.

I do agree that it can be a wash if the color isn't "desirable". The purist purchaser may devalue and walk but the ODDS of someone wanting Black or Blue is higher thus the pool of buyers gets larger...by a lot.

Which takes me back to mine. I really don't like many of the oe colors EXCEPT Black and Mulsanne. Hmmmm.

----Maybe I can help. Black with white stripes is the go to color change for a bunch of cars of all makes and colors. Mulsanne Blue on the other hand was a less chosen color new and way less chosen for a color change (I know that isn't part of this discussion). Choose the blue and you won't be sorry, or at least I wouldn't be as it's a gorgeous color! As a bonus, you won't see yourself coming and going to the cruise-ins......Bill S
