Faded & Oxidized Paint, what to do, what to do :( Options

[Jen]

So, this is my second celica. The previous owner did not take care of it, at all. The paint is faded, oxidized, stained-like.. completely messed up. Waxing doesn't help. I don't know, I did a search. Wasn't too much to work with. Clay bar? Wet sanding? Give me an idea. I do not have enough money to get it repainted.

I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. It's depressing.









Any tips would be appreciated.

i wold recomend giving it a light wet snd and buff it will help with the stains the same as a clay bar but for the oxidation I would go get a spray bomb of the color (in acrylic urathane(sp)) and do some touch up painting. A spray bomb should only cost $16 u may need two but im thinking one. After you touch up spray do another light wet sand and buff

if u do decide to wet sand make sure u get some 1600 grit ....and go slow because if u crack that clear coat u will be down to bare paint which wont last so long..... good luck
