Paint or no paint?

[eWock]

Hey, I posted something in the Detailer's section but no response. I wanted to know what options are there are for my body paint. The clear has lifted and started coming off on the panel that runs along the top of the passenger side doors all the way back to the part that is above the gas cover. I don't have the cash to drop for a full paint job. What can I do?

Lol, what are you going to do paint half your car? If you don't have the cash to drop on a real paint job its going to look like shit. Plain and simple.

if your car isnt black you could always go for the nsx-r style and paint it black from the shoulders up

If its just your clear i think you could get it recleared. That shouldne be too much. But if the paint is damaged id just put some time in waxing it every few weeks.

you would have to sand the hell out of the old clear to knock down the edges and by then you would have ruined the paint. once the clear has flaked you have to atleast sand + one coat of base then clear it

pretty much what he said ^

any good shop can easily fix the clear cancer so to speak.. not that expensive at all
