Hi everyone
Like to hear your thoughts. From 3 feet away the paintwork on my navy blue Ef XR8 looks great. Get closer and there are many fine scratches which me and professionals can't get out. So given a good XR8 is only worth around $8-10K (been offered 8K and said no) would you repaint it or not. Or am I like my freinds tell me  , just a bit ****. |

Being offered $8k for an EF XR8 is take the money and run material.

With the paint it will come down to a few things. Do you want to keep the car for a long period of time. Painting the car will not increase the value any more. If you are looking at selling it next 2 years, I would not even bother. Get a detailer to do what they car. If you are looking at long term another 5 plus years and keeping the car, then get the paint job done if you are not happy. A paint job will set you back around 3k minimum. |

Mate if the paint looks good at 1m I say that's pretty bloody good considering it's "oldskool" vintage I wouldn't pay 10k + to squirt it, and let's face it if you want a paint that looks closer than 1m you'll be paying well over 10k
