Resale will be crap.
When someone finds out a car has been sprayed, they may think twice about purchase.

Freakin' nice! I did the same paint job, with an MR roof swap, but did the trunk/spoiler black too. It's hawt!

As mentioned though, when the whole car has been sprayed, your resale is going to be questionable. I didn't care though, so if you don't either, by all means, do it.

Then post pics!

I really like this idea but only carbon trunk and carbon AMS roof instead of just black paint. Now that would be straight up sick! (but $$$)

Define QUALITY. I work at a shop and we would never paint a car for anything under 3 grand. If someone owes you a favor it might be different but you are not gonna get a showroom quality paint job for 1500 bucks. Sorry man people dont work for free.
