Find another car in the colour you like . A respray could be more than the value of the vehicle.

It was a lower mileage car and not too many near me.....

It's likely to affect the eventual resale value as internal body parts won't get sprayed and a half-decent examination will show it's been resprayed and generate questions why?

There is always the get it wrapped option to change the colour, it also isn't cheap but its cheaper then getting a car resprayed.

Either find another car in the colour you want OR if you must have this car learn to live with the colour it is.

People also get their car 'wrapped' these days, but while I think that would be cheaper than a professional respray, its still going to cost a pretty penny to get it done properly.

As others already said, it does not make financial sense to repaint a car. Exception is where you are restoring an old car where such painting will increase the value of the car.

I rarely stare at my car from outside. I did so when the car is new only. After 1-2 months novelty wears off.

When I am inside the car I can't see its colour anyway.

If the OP is not convinced by the previous posts I suggest watching some old episodes of Wheeler Dealers. A full respray in the same colour was expensive years ago even when Ed did all the prep. As he often said, changing the colour for Mike was a nightmare because it usually means removing much of the interior trim. With their major restorations it also required removing the engine because buyers expect the engine bay colour to match the body.
