Wouldn't it be easier to just sell the NFR and pick up a black s2k?

Considering a good paintjob is $3-4k it would be better to sell your NFR and buy a nicer berlina with that money.

+1 on sell it and buy a black one. But, if you must disregard wise advice, AutoCraft in Norman does fantastic work. 329-5753.

Why would you want another color? NFR is the fastest.


barron and hart is great, they are in Tulsa.

So why paint it black? its gonna drop the value of the car way down when you try to sell it. To have the engine bay painted and door jambs painted to match is all going to cost you.

Depending on how bad it is, your best bet is to get the car professionally detailed. you'll get your swirls and light scratches out, plus it should make the paint look less faded.

I have a friend who does this as a side business, let me know if you're interested. He did my S... http://accordingtodetail.com

I would use a SERIOUS detail / swirl removal on my S. The day it rolled in on the trailer at work it was absolutely covered in dirt, and while I was up front someone wrote "Wash Me" into the hood... needless to say on a BB S2K it made some marks. I've buffed it most of the way out but there are some spots that need to be buffed and what not.
