I bought it with busted paint that was really bad and falling off the car from living in west Texas. Then I had it sprayed pearl brg and it was kicked, keyed, bumped, and the HT was ganked so it had a black hardtop for the last year. So yes, this is the 3rd time I've painted the car.

Maaco did my entire car with hardtop for $875. That included taking out all the dents and painting the spoiler separately. They also cut out the rusted rockers and put in some new sheet metal.
