paint or not?
i am thinking very hard on having my car repainted... the paint is in great shape.... except there are a few small scratchs on the hood and some rust by t-tops... i have ghost flames on the hood and on the side of the quarter panel... they are too ghost for me... cant see them unless it is very bright outside... i want to keep it around the same color... it is candy apple red.... do you think i sould keep it like it is or repaint it.... honest opinions will be really helpful

You should keep it how it is and just do touch ups.
But if you got the money to throw around then paint the whole thing.
IMO, get the money it would cost for a paintjob, then dump it into the engine.

The paint looks good in the pics, but then again pics hide A LOT.
My car looks TONS better in pics than it looks in person.
I think if its just a couple scratches, let it go or touch it up.

thanks all for you opinions... i have a little more than just a few scratches ... on my spoiler there is a crack in the paint about 2 inches... i have a little bit of rust on the roof.. where the seals and roof meet... i have a few bubbles on the hood... the IROC-Z decals are all chipped up (from rocks i guess)... there are a few scratches on the hood from my hood ornaments (sp)...(they came flying off when i first got it... the stupid guy had double sided tape on them)... there are also a few chips in the rear quarter panel... i need to have the front spoiler repainted.... the guy that had it before me also hit a big telephone pole tire stopper.... its all chipped up... that part is photoshoped in the picture... is all that qualify for touch up with out it costing the same as a paint job.... if its close to the same cost.. in just going to have whole car painted... thanks all for it input
