Hey Jim, free opinion:
If you want a different color, sell the red one; buy a black or silver one. Do not repaint the car. A thorough color change repaint is going to be upwards of $5-6K. And a color-changed car is diminished in value. It'd be cheaper to sell yours and buy another, in my opinion.

C'mon guys, you know it's not the same as seeing it in your driveway.
It's not pure black, really black cherry, but:

I know it kills the resale...After the deer damage the car is not worth much...so I have no plans to sell it. It will go to my son in about 28 years.
It was my dad's and I plan to keep it in the family. BRJ- your car is awesome!

Hey Jim, have you ever had a black car ?
I love the look, but not in my driveway. The maintance will drive you crazy. I would go with silver or keep the red.

JIm, come on buddy, Aubergine is your color! You already know what it looks like. BTW, I need to get your harness bar back to you.

I know black is a pain to keep clean (and also to switch too)...but it looks...well... see BRJ's.
Silver would be my easy maintenance choice. Jim- I will e-mail you about meeting this weekend. What times were you running at SP? Deanp- Holy crap! My dial up just finished your pictures. Wow, now I am confused. The blue, orange and green look great.

 The term "Black is Beautiful" was no coincidence.
