Default There are some mint ones out there. Few and far between, but they are out there...

Of course, you are going to end up paying a premium.

Default I realize it may be hard with the car 8-9 years old. But

It's worth a shot. I have no problem paying more for the right one.

Thanks

Default You have your sights set too restrictive. Can buy any color car and have it repainted if it

comes out with less total $$. Silver cars for example are easier to find and generally cost less.

Bruce

PS. I could have got any color when I bought this car new. I liked silver best, followed by Nogaro.

Default It take's a lot of work to repaint a car a different color, LOL.

Dont get me wrong i like silver, but two of my buddy's already have silver and at the last Audi meet/cruise like 15 plus silver b5 s4 showed up....

There is just to many.......

Default How much do you think it costs to repaint a B5 S4?

I am not saying that should run with silver, just check cost equation:

1) Buy x color and repaint to desired color = XXX$
2) Buy desired color = YYY$

Just check XXX$ vs YYY$ and make best choice is all that I am saying. I don't give a f?ck either way.

Default Well it all depends, **** you can get a car painted for around 1g, but it may look like ****

and fade fast maybe even rust. If i were to repaint a car it would have to be done right, engine bay, door's etc. Then since i'm painting the car i mite as well buy a rs4 front, euro rear end and so on. so yea it would take alot of $$$$..

Thanks for the input though.....

Default That is not the question. How much to get it painted like from an Audi sactioned body shop?

I am not talking about a MACO paint job, but a real paint job. I estimate (without any real data) that it would cost ~2.5K
