I have an '86 Berlinnetta that was repainted blue over the original red. They did a really poor job, it's peeling all over and looks bad. The door jams were done but the engine compartment is the original red. I really don't like red especially since it attacts cops like flies. Any opinions? return to stock, pick something that goes with the engine bay or what?:shrug:

Would resale really matter with this car. It's one of ~4500 and was originally from Hawaii without the rear defrost. It lacks pw,pl, cruise but has air.

I had a thought of the original red with black highlights. Something like I seen on an Elcamino in the Summit catalog. Sorry, I don't have a scanner.


Also the (lt. blue) interior has a lot of stains and still smells of smoke despite a visit from the rug doctor. I was thinking of trying shout or something similiar. Am I about to commit a major mistake?

Feel free to rail on me if you think you have some good advice.
