Not sure on costs mate, but at the end of the day its your choice if you change the colour.

Smokestone is a lovely colour though

lot more work involved in spraying a car completly different colour,so will cost you more.upto you if you change colour mate,will show up on hpi as a colour change,but hopefully shouldnt put peeps off when it comes time to sell

with having a late car i would get it done a later colour.

i would rather keep it the same colour though.

Be careful who you use if going for smokestone as it is pearlescent colour.
Most body shops are having to use water based paint now and it is not an easy colour to get right.

I had a full everthing off respray and body restoration carried out by a top paint shop who work on Ferrari's and Porsche's cost just over £5k. Made Fords original finish look crap, worth every penny IMO.
