I've an 89 Helious blue 1.8 valver. I was in two minds about the paint. Stone chips here and there, bits of dents, bottoms of the wings going rusty. I had to repair rust on the roof, where some one had used sillicone sealer to bond on the rubber strip around the windscreen. Went for satin black as it was the quickest way to get my carback on the road. Once finished, it looked really mean, son next step is a gloss red bay with a complete satin black respray. Easy to maintain, and touch up, as i like to drive the car in a "spirited manner".
