Never heard of new orleans metropolitain but sucks that they would charge more. Not how any of the major ones do it. I would just paint it and not tell them what will they do if its stolen anyway, it's gone. If they do find it be like "damn they repainted it to try and hide it was my car!"
State farm, progressive, united, etc. don't. And who the hell in Chicago says "eh and don't cha know? This isn't Canada.

Its too bad that its ILLEGAL to have a color change and not report it.
You have to change it throught your insurance and your reg.
Otherwise you will be pulled over, and towed for False--plates.

no its not false plates, because your vin number is still right on the money, and thats what really matters. Though your insurance can refuse to cover you if you get in a wreck when youre liable because of it...

My friend had a blue del sol and had it repainted le mans sunset orange after it was keyed and was pulled over the cop was like what insurnace is this for. He said this car and he said ok. The cop didn't care and the insurance company even paid for the paint job. Rate didn't go up at all either.
It's not illegal to repaint a car either as the place that did it was certified by the insurance company, and he does it all the time. I think its just something they say or a really weird insurnace co.

well once we bought a 90 maxima, and the title said it was black, but it had been painted escalade white. The insurance had no problem with it. Sometimes it makes a difference sometimes not. Youre playing roulette with it though.
