If you go the macco route, 2 rules of thumb, don't drop. Anything on the paint, it will chip, and don't leave out in the sun for prolong time.. keep it garaged, and use a car cover so nothing accidentally hits the car.. it's an economy paint and collision shop, you will not get high quality materials.. and if you ask for 6 coats of clear, the painter will say sure, and laugh as he is shooting the car... the words you get what you pay for..

What do expect for $1400, lol.

I drive it alot year round in the Florida sun and have not experienced any fading or peeling.

I will agree the paint is not very thick.

I fully expect to be painting in the future but as long it keeps holding up so will I.

Besides the car is for fun, not an investment, money pit maybe.
