Before i received my car from my grandmother it had sit under a car cover for years. Water had gotten under the cover and the cover was slapping against the car in the wind for the 6 years it had sat. Now i'm left with trying to fix the ugly paint that is missing and spots on my doors. Does anybody have any ideas for "touching up" the spots where the paint has been taken off? I obviously want to get the car completely stripped and repainted when i have the 4 to 5 grand. I'm just looking for an easy fix so the car doesnt look as bad as it does now. The pics show how the paint has been taken off.. Thanks for advice and help.

I'd just leave it alone until it's time for a complete paintjob...

that would be fine if i didnt have to drive the car to school and back.

Well the way I see it is you can try and blend a touch up paint job or redo the whole car. Option one isnt Ideal becuase its a waste of money and it prolly wont look good anyway. I'd say your car is way better then anyones at your school :wink: 442 FTW.

especially since im a junior in high school lol
 
Problem your going to run into is the paint will just keep pealing back when you go to feather it back
They had a problem with adheashion back then.
I run into that all the time in my body shop
My advice is leave it till you have the money or time to strip it and do it right.otherwise you will be wasteing time and money
