I got into some good detailing on the paint today. Definitely someone has tried to paint that car and done a poor job of it. There is overspray on some of the seals, places where I can see an undertone of black through the red paint and of course, places where the paint is just coming off or is cracked and about to fail. Having said that, the PO only had that car 3 months (purchased from his nephew to give him some wedding money) so it must have happened further back in it's life. Having said that, the paint that is good, which is the majority of it, shined up really really nice. I had to do 2 passes of everything, compound up through polish, but I'm really happy how it came out. Definitely a 20 foot car. Updated pics post polish
