Well, my celi is purple... honestly, i don't like that color. however, it used to be yellow and when the previous owner painted it, he had a cheap job done to it. They only painted over the yellow, so is there a possibilty to return it to yellow by sanding the purple coat very carefuly back to the yellow then adding a clear coat finish?


EDIT: The purple comes off quite easily, my front end is full of yellow dots from rock chips, same for the rockers.

i'd say to do a full repaint...

my guess is that the yellow would not be in the greatest condition anyway...

but i'd say, to be fair...

take a square of the car, and try to take it down to yeller...and see how it looks...

(if the owner repainted it...there had to be a reason besides color change?...i.e yellow was fading...or something like that...)
