I actually took it in Friday for a quote on a strip and re-paint.. I would consider the paint a 7 in my humble opinion. I was a bit blown away by the number they told me but may well go through with it as it would have it to show quality and given I wont be driving it much I may go ahead with it. This is the first car I have ever owned where I dont care if I am upside down as I dont plan to ever sell it. Outside of that I would really only need to replace the interior door panels (elbow rests have some wear) ..
