How does having a car painted affect its resale value?

I have purchased a 2003 Buick Rendezvous CXL. It's this ugly blue color on the outside, kind of like baby blue with dark gray base/running boards. I wanted to know around how much it would cost to have the entire thing painted, but also how would it affect its resale value? Is an aftermarket paint job worth it and how is the quality compared to a factory paint job. Thanks.How does having a car painted affect its resale value?
It would hurt the resale value of the vehicle to change the color on it from it's original color. as far as the quality of a paint job, that depends on the shop. Shops that do cheap paint jobs look bad and shops that charge more usually do so because they use higher quality materials and have more thorough processes. I would not get it painted a different color or painted at all because you are going to be looking at a minimum of $2500 for a decent paint job.How does having a car painted affect its resale value?
As a sales and leasing agent at a dealership, I can tell you it would be a waste of money to paint your car. People are more concerned with how the car runs, mileage on the vehicle and the interior appearance. And with the current gas crisis, the MPG(miles per gallon). Aftermarket paint jobs are usually cheesy at best, unless you spend a LOT of money.
500 to 1000 $ will get money back on this sale , if no damage or rust I would try a very good cleaner first or oxidizer then good wax..40$ verses 500$ no brainer if your selling
