Are you buying a new Toyota? Or maybe you're restoring a classic car, or even just changing up the look of your existing vehicle. Regardless of where you're at in the car ownership life cycle, choosing the right car paint color is a critical part of the process. Toyota of Clermont is here with tips on how to choose the right car paint color for your vehicle.
Do you know how to choose a car paint color?
Before you settle on a car paint color, here are some tips that our Clermont Toyota body shop experts recommend keeping in mind.
Consider what you want personally. Which car paint color is going to be the best for you in terms of aesthetics AND functionality? Here are a few pointers:
- Some insurance companies charge higher premiums for yellow or red cars - these colors are usually found on sportier models, which insurance companies deem as higher risk.
- Conversely, some insurance companies will charge lower premiums for white or silver cars. These colors reflect the most light, which makes them the most visible on the road and subsequently, less likely to get into an accident.
- There's no documented proof, but it's rumored that red cars are more eye-catching and as such, get pulled over by law enforcement more often.
- Bright colors stand out from the crowd; neutral colors like black, white, and silver tend to blend in. Decide what your goal is.
- Remember you have finish options. The most common is gloss, but you can pay extra for unique satin or matte finishes.
Research what's popular. If you know you're not going to hold onto the car for a long time, consider which paint colors are the most popular. A more common or popular car paint color will give you more value when it's time to sell or trade in your Clermont Toyota.
Ensure the color you choose fits the vibe of your car. Which model are you driving? It's important to consider your vehicle itself before choosing a car paint color. A bright yellow looks amazing on a sports car, but will make a sedan or a minivan look like a taxi. Make sure the color you want fits the type of vehicle you're driving.
Consider going classic for restorations. If you're restoring an old classic car and want it to look authentic, you'll need to research the paints that were available for that particular model, year, and generation. Most factory colors have been reproduced with modern technology, which means you'll get the classic color with up-to-date protection and durability for your car.
