I recently bought a used car and I don't particularly care for the color. Can I have it repainted to a different color? Nothing special, just a new solid color. I see they do this to the extreme on shows like "Pimp My Ride" etc. I am wondering about several details: 1) The cost 2) insurance ramifications 3) other government/local ramifications (do I need to register the color change?) 4) where do you suggest I have this done? Here are the details of my car for reference: White 2001 Toyota Prius, located in near Washington, D.C. There's no rust or anything, but there are some unique things on the car that may be dificult to paint (i.e. around the Toyota logo, and the strange Prius battery vent outside behind the left passenger seat. Do things like logos and other insignia get removed before painting and then reapplied?

You should look in your local phone book to see what is available for options in regards to where to take your car to be painted. I am not sure about the legalities in your state but they would know. It can be quite expensive to paint your car so shop around for the best prices and ask people about what they recommend from their experiences. Hope this helps some!
