i think u should go to canadian tire (or whatever you guys have in the states, autozone is it?) and buy some spray cans. sand down your whole car, and spray the entire car, then buy some clearcoat in a can, and clear coat it.... if you're good at painting model cars, you can pull it off on your car and it will look like a $3000 paint job

Easy isn't the only one with this Idea, do a search on spray paint, and you will find alot of people doing this, including Zepher, and many others, making their cars look better.

we are thinking of doing that. But there are some major ding and dents in this car. Not from me. From previous owners
