      haha spray paint is a wierd thing. what would you guys have done if you had multiple mismatched panels on your car but dont have $2k to spend on paint.

            Track rat or not, that is the ugliest thing I have seen in a long time.

            Sell your car (somehow) and use that extra 1000 towards a different E30. Not only is the paint job an insult to anyone on the road, the body itself look pretty butchered.

            IMO it would be much wiser to start all over again.

              I'd say the car is worth more as scrap metal.

                wow. paint it again all white. and do one panel at a time. and sand down that mess first. i have seen some rattle can jobs that at least looked half assed, but this one is just scary. also, if yer tracking this car, you should take out all that garbage sitting around the interior...

                    its a daily driver/track car. its not like i keep the inside 100% clean all the time, like you guys do too. Stop ratting out my paint job, its just temporary fun until I can afford a real paint job. the car looks butchered but thats just because of the spray paint, the rest of the body is in pristine condition. It just rolled 100,000 miles and runs great. Get a creative bone in your body and step away from your average looking car. im not affraid to look different even if you guys think its crappy.

                      Just get a cheap ass Schieb or Maaco job. It'll look good from 15-20 feet away.

                        Spray painting the car black primer would be a huge improvment

                          Wow, that's the worst condition 100k E30 I have ever seen. Makes me feel pretty good about my 200k car! Spray painting your color with a blue racing stripe is not getting creative.
