My dad got me a Audi A4 as a graduation gift but it isn't in a color that I like. I have never owned a car before and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color.

Is it used? If it's new just trade it for another colour. If not you'll have to repaint the whole car which will cost a ton of money and won't look as good as the original paint.

Yup, there is nothing as nice as factory paint.

Respraying an entire car well is a time and labor intensive job.

Don't bother re-painting it, as it will never look the same as a factory paint job. Try to take it back to the dealer and have it exchanged for a colour you like. Re-paint's rarely if ever turn out better than original paint and can hurt the resale value of your car.

I asked my dad and he said we will take it back and exchange it for a red model of the same car. I will post some pictures very soon! Thanks everyone for the great advice. My dad had a warranty type of thing so they're going to let him exchange it for free.

QFT.

OP: What colour did you get that you didn't like? Post pics of your new car when you end up getting it.
