Re: Paint after 2 years (pic heavy)

Not sure I understand your point. If the car was painted correctly, it should look spectacular after only two years. Why are you thinking it wouldn't still look great after two years? My car is 25 years old and the paint looks great. Ok, it's not a daily driver, so I'll use my daily driver 7 year old truck with 125k miles. The paint looks like new!!! Recent pic below.

Nice looking car, but like Scott said why would it not look good after 2 years unless you are just beating the car to death and not being careful with it?

Scott, nice truck.

Re: Paint after 2 years (pic heavy)

Well i guess i should have told the whole story, my uncle ( the previous owner) was a body shop guy so he painted it, but was his winter beater car so he didnt bother to paint it in the booth so he shot it on the shop floor, He painted over some rust to. Then he drove the car over 100 miles a day almost every day all winter long, so considering he drove the crap out of it all winter with the all the salt on the roads and a half assed paint job its not too bad. He did load the color and clear on it though so i think that helped
