Just an FYI, Kevin is out of town and won't be back on Friday.

IMO, there is other things I would spend money on in that car before paint.

He should be able to tell you if he thinks he can get it to shine up nice or if its worth the repaint. I don't believe he charges for estimates either.

I dont know if those are 2 stage paint or if they are old enough for single stage, but TO me your car just looked in need of some TLC. Before you decide you want to paint it, atleast drive by SLD and have him take a look. He's an expert on that kind of stuff and I'm sure he'll give you a professional opinion for free.

I know we wash my dads truck 2-3 times a week. It sits in a gravel parking lot 12+hours a day

Factory paint holds up really well so if it isn't bad, leave it and just clean it up. Your car won't stay clean just by repainting it.

It does sound nice though.

You need to clean it really really good. Then get if buffed. The paint looked to be in really good condition just really dirty/needing of some love. I would spend the $200 or so and get the car completely professional detailed. 2 or 3 stage buff...

Napa has Martin Senour, and I can get the good PPG stuff from my jamestown store. Black isnt too bad but some of those colors are downright spendy.

There is one problem though, I live on a dirt road.

Some parts stores sell it, otherwise there are automotive paint stores, someone can chime in with where some are in fargo....

I have even seen some pretty good paint jobs from just free spraying in a garage with no containment at all. Just wet the ground and take your time. You could probably do the whole car for a couple hundo yourself.
