you gone have it painted the same color or a difrent collor and
is there any rust even a little bit maybe something bubling over even if it,s on the rocker panel
or dings
if just a few dings and no rust what so ever and you get it painted same color about 400 to 700 depending on where you go and the actualy quality of the paint and what service you get if theres a few dings and maybe 1 or 2 spots that are rusting then your looking at about 900 or so

are there problems with the paint?

paints bit thin in the front nothing you can notice at glance but the clearcoats wearing off on it, the rest of the car is immaculate cept for a few minor scratches on the rear nothing u can see unless your looking for it I just want to give her a fresh coat replace her headlights grill and chrome trim refurbish would be the word that brings me to the next point how would I go about replacing hte chrome trim around the bumpers? and how much would a new grill cost me

I'm doing all of the work myself on my 95' and have got over 1300 in paint/clear alone. This is one of those times when "You get what you pay for". Take it to a good shop that has references, and when you go examine the shop, ask for pictures of thier work. This is the only way your gonna assure your self that they are commited to quality.

I enjoy body work which is why I'm doing everything myself.
