Well, I'm taking my car down to maaco tomorrow to see what they can do for me. If they can get me a paint job with the "additonal sanding" I need to get out the scratches, nail polish (from previous owner), oxidation, etc. for under $500 then I'm going to have them do it. After almost 4 years I might finally be getting the paint job I always said I was going to get. lol. This is, unfortunately, only so I can sell the car faster since nobody wants to pay a reasonable price for a car that's in perfect condition mechanically, near perfect on the interior, but 4 different colors on the exterior.
 pics and update tomorrow

The alltrac is actually a 4th gen though, 5th gens are 90-93. I almost bought a 5th gen GTS too before I bought the 6th gen. Anyway, I wanted to note, in the pic of the roof, it looks like you can see the primer coming through or something like they didn't put enough coats on, that's actually a reflection of some clouds or something, the roof looks magnificent. I especially like that part since my roof was in such poor shape before and has been ever since I bought the car almost 4 years ago -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
