I sold the car about 2 years ago, but it the paint was all original. The roof and deck lid on the back were faded, along with the rear bumper cover.

As far as I know my GTA still has original paint. I do know that the front bumper has been repainted a couple of times by the previous owner, but he did not mention anything else. I have owned the car since 1998 and have not painted it, and he owned it before me since 1991-1992. So as far as I know it is a Van Nuys original!

Original 15 year old, 140k mile Van Nuys paint.
It is starting to fade around the plastic pieces (front valance, spoiler, etc), but other than that, it is in beautiful condition for its age and abuse.

I usually don't wash the car, so the car wash solution used isn't an issue. I have used Meguiar's polish, their #7 yellow wax, Formula 113, and Wizard's Polish. I usually polish it then apply a light coat of #7 wax.
dont want to sound like a dick scottmoyer but im just curious what happend to the right side of the 3 pc spoiler?
how do you prove it has original paint in that contest?

This is the original paint from all that I know, but when you look at it, the clearcoat is peeling all over. You cant really tell from pics tho.

Gotta say that white is such a forgiving color. I dont really have to deal with many of the problems associated with the reds, maroons, blacks, blues, and even yellows of the rest of you guys.

A few pics of mine when i forst got it last fall. Orginal paint, 134,000 miles. clear is pealing on the rear bumper cover, and a little paint pealing on the roof. And of course, the door damage. So, now it has red/primer doors, and primer fenders, awaiting paint when the weather gets nice in the spring.
