the car got in a small front end chash before i got it and it is missing part of the plastic frame that runs accrost the front end that holds the headlights in place and when it was repainted somebody put weight on the bumper causing the paint to stretch and crack

Re: need paint ideas
are you talking about sandblasting the entire car ? if so forget about it , unless you want to tie up your car for a long time . any good body/paint man can fix your problems . good paint and body shops are not cheap . please do a little more research . if your set on new paint , price a job at local shop and you will see what i mean price wise .

Re: need paint ideas
If it were my car, before doing anything, I'd first get several professional body shop / painter's opinion's as to where to begin to correct or restore the cars paint.
