You'll never get the money back out of the paint job. But, if you like
it want it to look nice while you drive it, maybe it's worth it to
you. Painting that car and driving it a few more years is much cheaper
than replacing the car no matter how you figure it.
If you do decide to paint it, return here for more tips on finding a
quality paint shop. Half the job is below the surface and you need to
find a shop that does both halves right.
