whats worth more

Ok,I bought this 89 Iroc-z28 w/tpi 350 and 700r4. Looks to me to be the factory paint. there is a quarter size dent on the drivers side wheel well where it curves.Then one spot on the drivers rear quarter about 8 inches from where it meets the rear bumper.The front hood has got to be painted no dought. the rest of the paint is great. the small dent dosenot have any paint damage. should I just paint the hood and keep the factory paint on the rest of the car.Or fix the small and med. dents. I'd hate to spend 3k on a paint job that decreses the value or dosnt increase it as much as what it cost to do. give me your worth on this one.

Re: whats worth more

how would a paint job decrease the value on a 3rd gen? especially a typical iroc?

fix the dents and paint the whole thing. It will not hurt the value in anyway. this isnt a 40 year old survivor car with limit production, no miles, sat in a garage all its life, or something like that.
