Respray
Hi all , I am just thinking maybe sometime in the future I may want to respray my car , it is a Starlight Silver and when in the light you can see where it is faded , and also where work has been done but the paint work not been professionally blended in , also not sure if it can be bought back to some sort of show room condition with out a full respray ,
What are your thoughts. |

Grey is a very boring and dull color (unless its dark grey/anthracite). |

A re-spray is a huge job if it's done properly including strip out doors, windows everything off the car..very costly and unless it's done properly it could de value your car.

Wash, clay bar, wax polish and detailed.
Or wait till I'm down next and I'll do it for you.

If its past a good claying, polish and detailing you could consider getting it wrapped - lot cheaper than respray and the choice of finish is unlimited almost

I'm intereseted in this thread because my car exhibits similar symptoms although probably to a lesser degree. But if the paint is lacquered then am i right in thinking no amount of clay bar'ing will restore faded paint because the lacquer is pretecting it.
