Paint the car or no?
Ok i have an 85 S that is in dire need of paint, I am just selling it as a "shell" basically, all the parts are included just not installed, the only thing installed is the motor (6 port 13B) my question is should I paint the car to make it look more desireable or leave it all crappy. I can paint it for around $40 in materials (my freind has a paint booth and lets me use it when i need to) The car is muliticlored now and looks terrible... Also should I paint it back white or do another color ?
I can paint everything interior doorjambs everything because there is no interior in there.. lemme know what ou think and what color I should use...

Paint it whatever color the engine bay and interior was initially, so that you don't have to paint that too. Even if you did paint it, without a LOT of prep-work I don't think the engine bay and interior paint would hold up at all.

Engine compartment is black now and the inside of the shell is white.
Trevor, I say white due to it hides alot of things as where black will show every little ding and or drip.
Just my 02 cents.

I will do a MAcco quality job, for $100 plus materials, you sand it and do the body work...
I can do better then macco but...that takes a lot of time.. The way I paint it doesn't chip or peel off after 2 days though..lol, like macco
