We just bought a 2003 VW Jetta TDI (using biodiesel). It's silver which we hate. We love bright yellow cars for their visability and have $5K to burn on a good quality paint job. I've already located a few shops that come highly recommended and viewed their work. We're planning on adding a clear 3-M sports bra a few weeks after the paint has cured to help protect from rock chips.

Here are my questions:
* will yellow over silver be OK?
* will the yellow fade a lot over time (how much time)?
* can anyone recommend a yellow that is very bright but pure yellow (not pale lemony), but wih no orangey tone? (don't want to look like a schoolbus or taxi)
* If you're in the Seattle area, anyone you'd recommend?
* anything I should know before moving ahead?

Thanks,
Sheila

We don't suggest changing your color. Please consult a local body shop.
Unfortunately we are not familiar with body shops in the Seattle area and
cannot recommend one.
