Should i repaint my car the stock color?
It's factory briar brown, the paint's good but because it's a CA car the clear is peeling. From figures i've seen only 8000 were painted this color and another said 13k at any rate it's somewhat rare, what do you think?

You and I are both having the same problem! lol
I've got the Briar Brown color and am debating myself whether I wanna keep it this color or not.
I just don't know what to do! lol

If you repaint the same color you save a lot of hassles and expense repainting door jambs and under hood and hatch. Unless you are ready to go for the full treatment, it is my opinion that it would detract from the value if it was obvious that the color was changed. All thirdgens look good with a first class shine regardless of the color. just my opinion.

I understand how you feel!
I'm definetely thinking about keeping my car the brown color!
I mean if you think about it, it's the original color's of our cars, plus you rarely see a Brown Firebird or Camaro!
Everything you see now is Red, Black or something usual... So I think our cars are kinda unique! Plus, The Brown kinda grows on you after a while!

Well folks the jury is out and the verdict is in, my car will be repainted the original color and the interior being brown was a huge influence on that decision, thanks for the input
