Its subjective. A 4 dr Impala has limited appeal, but I'm sure that
somewhere, someone is looking for one - Just like dad had or just like I
drove in HS. If its a keeper, I'd paint it in the original color. But
I'd go first class with the repaint. Make it take a sharp eye to see
that its redone. If you are looking to sell soon, i wouldn't paint.
Potential buyers may/would suspect that the new paint is hiding
something.
