How many 94-95 guys still have the stock paint ?
 
hey guys,

just wondering how many 94-95 guys still have the stock paint on their car. My chaste white still has the stock paint, and its deff in need of a respray which will be getting done this winter (with a top coat of either pearl or blue pearl ;))


I wanted to see how much better our paint is compared to the 93 guys which for the most part, have all been resprayed by now if they wern't garage queens

mines still stock, the hood and bumper had some chips but thats to be expected......so i got a c/f hood and a mazdaspeed bumper over winter, easy fix :) rest of the car still looks great

My mb paint is holding up quite well. The front bumper and rear hatch have been repainted after a minor fender bender and rear spoiler removal.

93 w original paint, but by no means in good shape :D

anyone know the paint codes for any of the japanese models whites? dont know wat all differences there are if any, but i like the spirit r...hmmm

94 VR with visible fading, poorly repaired chips and scratches, and a couple dings and very small dents.

I'd love to repaint it, but $3000 for vanity's sake is out of my budget right now.

mine is a respray, in snow white pearl mica. i think the white color for 94s tends not to be that great, majority of the white fds ive seen have either been repainted or are in desperate need of it.

93 still orginal paint except for bumper fenders driver door and side skirts. paint is still in pretty good shape

this is true. I just think white looks bad as soon as its in anything but perfect condition honestly. a color like MB or black even can hide defects a little better like miscoloring and stuff. White is just so hard to hide miscoloring

Hey way to exclude us 93 guys :) 1993 Vintage Red and lookin' fine (build date 02/1992).

Resprayed '94 here, and my MB was definately in need of new paint when I picked it up.

My 94 PEG has the original white paint, and it is in excellent condition. 56K, and doesn't spend much time in the sun. Always garaged when at home.

'95, still has the original paint in excellent condition. Paint is a weak spot on the FD. I always thought it was cheap and one of the places they saved money on the car. When I had my BMW it was also red. With the two cars parked side by side you could see the quality of the BMW paint was far better even though it was the older car.

I've noticed the plastic side mirrors can fade. One thing I've always done is put that Turtle Wax colored wax on the side mirrors after every time I wash the car. I think it has helped.
The mirrors still look great and match the rest of the car.
