The paint isn't that bad its just to color not my first choice anyway I'm not looking for perfection just a good 5-10 foot finish my 90GT had a paint job like that and it was just fine with me. I found a place that will do it for $300 if I do the body work my self and I saw some of the cars they did they looked ok. I think I will go with black. First I need to replace the tierod ends tomorrow morning and fix the breaks. I just got to get her running right before I paint her.

Well that is were the time consuming process is in the prep. The prep job can make a break a paint job.

i think the 10 foot paint jobs depends on the color on how good/bad it looks. I had a car painted white and an 85 GT that I got painted Silver and Black by cheap body shops. the silver and white paints came good, but the black really showed the imperfections really bad.

Black will show every single little querk and imperfection in a paint job.

Monet paint job: looks good from a distance but shows everything when you get close.
