Thanks T-Bag. yes OEM color silver. Will this effect to resale value. Existing paint is not in mint condition but interior and engine is superb. This car is with lease and I don't want to sell it another 3,4 years. I would like to hire this for wedding and make some contribution to lease.

New book only shows the current colour. It doesnt give any clue regarding a change.

Yes Pearl White is not Good. Go for champagne color or dark maroon color.

wow still no response to the question....here goes...yes it will..it will be an additional reason for whoever the buyer will be to grumble and bring down your price..if your marketing skills are good and your sales pitch perfect you will be prob be able to realise what ever the reaslistic value of it is disregarding the colour change at the point of sale...

Ive changed my car colour from green to red about 1y back. No clue in the book.

You seem to want the white colour to attract wedding hires. If so, you would more than make up for the loss in market value in 3 - 4 years! So don't sweat.

We got a vehicle colour change done few months back.

In the CRM (or the book as popularly known as) , in section 4 under 'Conditions/Special notes' the change was indicated. but in the VIC only the new colour is mentioned.

In my CRM its mentioned as original in section 4 and actually its wrong!

Miniace,

Please let me know what is the proper procedure for this color change. Should I need to inform RMV before I change the color

[Nilantha]

i already changed the color. never go to register yet.
