I think it looks pretty good at the moment. Photos can lie sometimes tho. Paint is expensive, sure you wouldn't rather spend the money on something else?

You can get small dints out, and get a full cut and polish, or just go over it by hand. It'll bring it up unbelievable good!
Paint job, is a lot of money, especially if you don't know anyone.

I'd be interested to see what Platinum would look like with the pearl. Even still your paint looks to be in good condition. I can see the dint in the bootlid, but otherwise it looks good. You can get the dint fixed and the section of boot repainted. I've had small stuff fixed on my car and had small sections repainted. They did a great job of matching the paint on my car. It really is your decision.

I wouldn't bother.
I just traded my blue EB XR8 for a black BA Fairmont GHIA. It's cheaper to own, to run and has heaps more power and options. But then again if it isn't going to cost you much why not. After all it's all about what YOU get out of YOUR car. Just remember your car's retail value is worth stuff all. |
