    That paints looks to have been just as bad.
    yes im f*cking positive about that. I know the difference between a de-laminating base/clear paint job and an oxidized single stage paint job.

    that blue car needs to be sanded down with a D.A until it feather edges then you can go over it with primer sealer then re-paint it. theres no quick cheap fix for it.

      +1. I would take it down to the sealer and reprime it and block it out. that is how my trunk lid and Roof looked like on my 325is. I sanded it all down with a DA, primed it and Blocked it. Looks great now.

        So the question now is, back to stock w/ the Arktisblau, or do I do it in race style w/ gloss white?

        There's a chance I'll be selling this very nice eta on the east coast in July, and I am sure slapping on a coat of gloss white on the flat areas will kill the resale.

        But it'd be very cool.

          I had a dodge daytona that looked like this and i wet sanded it and buffed it out. The hood only cause i knew i was wasting my time. It still looked like crap and just faded back to what it looked like to begin with.

            You had a cleared hood? Or an oxidized hood? If the paint looked faded and poor after I wet sanded the clear, but better than now, I'd run with it... I'm not looking for show car, or even "hey, that car's pretty nice looking."
