Fix paint oxidation and chippings?
- Thread starter Drami5
- Start date
Got a question for you guys. I know painting it will be very expensive, but the thing is I want to make my car look nice.. as a college freshman im broke. I got enough for some rims though. Would you guys go through with the rims even though some of the paint is like that? Only the bumper has the white chips but the front and back sides have the paint peeling off.. thinking also about buying a bumper cover to hide all the chips
thanks

went from this...
to this
in a weekend (the pics don't align, sorry!)
I am gonna sand it because I got some scratches I want to remove on the sides..that and use a clay bar.
But honestly man, the car looked better red..
It did there...reason for the pic...see, wet ground? Just left the car wash 
also, the front lip needed repainted, and so did the rear/lower area of the fenders. :/
once you got close you figured out why this car sat in a barn for 5yr before I took over.

I see now. Are you going to repaint the car to the color of the lips?
