Bored of the red, two dents I need taken out too so fancy going the whole way and getting it resprayed.

Any suggestions? I am being boring and thinking metallic black.

I think changing the colour of most cars is a bad idea. Think of all the places which you can't easily respray, like the engine bay or under the door seals. It is always going to be obvious to any savy used buyer that it has been done and would raise deep suspicions about the car, wrecking its used value. Sorry to be a killjoy, but don't do it unless you are happy to write off a lot of money come resale time.
