Berlinetta Survivor
I am new to the forum and I have the opportunity to acquire an all original 37k mile unmollested 1982 Berlinetta. The paint is silver and is pretty much "washed out". The car is so original and untouched that I'm hesitant to paint it, which would ruin it's survivor status. Any advice would be appreciated.

Replied in your other post on the History forum. No need to post this in more than one forum on the same board.
