Should i paint it?

[fast1eddy]

I'm restoring a 92 325ic for fun. I'm not keeping the car but i've got it stripped to the point that paint would be easy and inexpensive. When buying a car is new paint a plus to you or does it make you nervous? The car has a few dents and some clearcoat issues but overall looks pretty good. Plus i have a new front spoiler and 2 side body pieces from the Mtech kit that need painting. Should i just paint the whole car or not?

if you're fixing that dent in the quarter panel, then why would you not paint it?

Make sure that you take A LOT of pictures before you paint it. That way, if you sell it the buyer knows what they are getting into. I, personally, am a bit wary about buying any repainted car, mainly because it is almost impossible to make it look as good as the original paint and you never know why the car was painted and how much bondo is under said paint.

Werd. Lots and lots of pictures and have the reciepts to show that the work was done by reputable shop. Completely repainted cars just scream "rebuilt total" to me.
