I was going to have it painted this year as there has been body work done to the front of the car. It was a horrible re-spray (water in lines), and it doesn’t quite match the rest of the car. The original paint is badly checked, so to do a complete strip and re paint is about $6500. I think I’ll live with it the way it is.
