I think you are missing the reason why most people get a custom paint job. It is a statement of individuality and a personal statement. It’s about having a car as unique as you are.

Because a custom paint job is personal, the car will lose value. Heavy cosmetic mods are NOT an investment. They are done to please the drive and the driver alone. I have had two car painted and moded out . One I gave to my brother 6 years ago (he still has it and shows it) and another that I will give to my son this summer when he turns 16.

I personally haven’t decided on what I plan for my 1er, but if it gets to the point of custom paint, it won’t ever be sold, though I might give it to someone I trust.
