So my celica is white now and I just turned it in to receive a fresh new paint job. I chose hot rod black which is a flat black but with protectant. I'm having the front ss-III splitters installed as sell and replacing the pass-side fender. It'll be about a week's wait so I post up fresh pics when I get the car back.
This is what it is now before the paint: ![]()

I can't think of any "quality" reasons that would affect it, as long as you are using a good body shop. The only thing I am thinking of that would matter is how much of the car actually needs to be painted when changing to a completely different color. Obviously there is the entire exterior that needs to be painted, but on top of that they have to remove the interior to paint the door jambs, paint where the hatch closes, and everything under the hood needs to be painted as well. With any quality body shop, none of that is an issue. It's just a matter of cost.
