Paint probs.

The paint on the top of my GTA is starting to fade and get thin. It is on the panel behind the T-tops( I don't know the technical name for it.) Is there any way to rejuvinate the paint and bring it back to at least a decent level? I am just now dropping in the motor and have no money in the budget for paint. Not even a cheap macco job.

Thanks
Robert

What color is your car? Red and blue are the two worst colors for the sun. They fade the quickest. Pretty much, there is nothing that you can do, just save some cash, then go somewhere that you can trust. DON'T try those color match, or restorers that you see on t.v. They never work. My friends are proof.
