I just don't see any scenario where the OP comes ahead financially in the long run by repainting his new car a different color.
I don't know about pricing where OP is, but at a US body shop i'd expect to a correctly done color change to start at $10,000. Don't forget about all the extras places that need painted on a color change, which are also some of the hardest to prep correctly.

OP Do you have costs for repaint already?
