That is the worst paint job I have seen on an XF to date, except maybe the black and white 2 tone that looked like shamu the whale....

Well, this is a bad color combo....I bet in a two tone silver or blue it wouldn't look bad.

A couple of days ago I stopped at a body shop & asked what it would cost to do a repaint ....I've seen a Maserrati with a color I really liked.....the guy said since the car was new it would only be about $12,000.....he said if it was an old Camero....it would be more like $20K.

I think I'll stick with the colors I've got!!!

I can see $3K for a good job, but not much more than that. Maybe, $1K more if doing a different color.

I saw that two-tone also. I thought it was a fake at first. Who'd do that to these beauties is beyond me...I thought I was going to puke when I saw it...

However, this thread got me thinking...what would compliment the graphite?

Also, I liked the side accents idea. Some shadowing with the "crossover" designs maybe?

If we're swinging for the fence—here's my subtle two-tone vision.

Yes the paint plan is to extruded the strakes into the doors. Its only an idea at this time. Think of it as a "Photoshop roadmap" for future mods. This would take some serious cash to get this off the ground. Fender/body work to stuff the wheels in, and side skirts... lets not even go there, been tried on this forum with no luck! (It's more like my 5 year plan).

I like it. It might need the chrome strakes and maybe the windshield surround to match the rims. but the paint look great!

Here is a color combination that I asked "tdannar" to do for me a while back.
If I had any other color other than Alabaster, I probably would have had my car painted like this.
