I may be getting a Mustang, but it looks like the owner before him had started wet sanding it to prepare it for a paint job. Then the fenders are after market and aren't painted. This is basically a daily driver but I'm not going for anything special here. I just don't like the fading paint all over the car from where he sanded it, and some cracked paint areas. Are there any places in central Virginia that don't charge an arm and a leg to just sand it a little, then throw a couple coats of the same color paint over it with a little gloss? It's white, so it doesn't need to look like a real good paint job. Shouldn't take a professional but a few hours.

About to grab a couple cans of Rustoleum to fix the bad spots in the mean time.

dont do macco find someone that does it for a side job, macco sucks. you pretty much get what you pay for and i most likely you will not like it. someone that does it for a side job will worry a little bit more about the quality then the quanity.
