Talking Suggestions for New Paint

So I have a Montego Blue 94 and some areas of the paint are rough like the bumper. Theres a few door dings that need attention and thus will probably be respraying the car. My question is, what OEM color has the best resale value? Considering painting another color or keeping it Montego Blue. Any feedback is appreciated

Agree w using a stock color for resale

Try the jdm blue. May look OK without doing jams and engine

Otherwise stick to montego unless you wanna pay for a full repaint.

Yellow and white seem to be most expensive fds. But a non original cym or chaste white car won't be as desirable or valuable

Np, I do think that a stock blue would cost the same to respray without jams I'd do that to increase value on your car if you are going to paint.
Not everyone loves montego and seems to be a common color

Montego blue is probably the best color you can get on an FD...if it's perfectly maintained. If it's not, I usually lump them in with red. Don't bother doing MB unless you know you can keep it mint.

If you pick the right non-OEM color and it's pristine, I don't think the resale value of your FD will be hurt and you might make your FD even more desirable. I'd stay away from polarizing colors like yellow, orange, purple or green. Maybe look at some house of kolor paints.
