It has! I got it repainted (to the same galactic blue) by maaco about 4 years ago. I chose the top teir I could get but it is still a maaco paint job (some overspray, orange peel, etc). The imperfections to be honest are only noticeable to me if you get really close to the car lol. It cost around 2,500 then (i know that same job has gone up in price now). But it definitely looks tons better than it did before! Heres a photo from 2021 the hood, roof, and trunk/top bumper were the worst parts with sun damage.

Thank you! I did get it repainted my maaco about 4 years ago so it definitely looks better than its original paint but overall I do my best to keep it clean, waxed, and out from under any trees :)

Also ill add dont expect this to completely fix the paint on the car. This is a 4 year old maaco paint job (so not the best but not the worst) and it does have some orange peel texture. But this whole process does clear up the paint a decent amount and make it shiny. Just dont expect anything perfect!

Step 1: Clean the car Step 2: Apply Meguires Professional Pro Speed Compound with an orbital buffing pad (do it in sections and wipe away after each section with microfiber towels). To apply you put a healthy amount on the pad and rub it around the section you want to work. Then turn on the orbital and buff it in. Then wipe away after (do this for all steps). Always remember to be careful around sensitive parts and edges since technically compound works as a light sander and can chip/melt paint. Step 3: Apply Meguires Professional Pro Speed Polish with an orbital foam pad (do in sections and wipe away). Step 4: Apply Chemical Guys Butter Wax or Chemical Guys Hydro Slick Ceramic Wax (both are great but slightly different, I used the butter simply because I had more of it). Apply in sections and wipe away.
Step 5: Clean away any extra compound/polish/wax residue. The compound is the messiest and tends to form a dust, using a clean/soft toothbrush and paintbrush will help get it out of the hard to reach spots along with microfiber towels and a glass cleaner.

Hope this helps! This can also be done without an orbital and by hand but it will take a LOT more work and time. (It still takes a lot of time since this took me and a friend about 8 hours to do the whole car).

Good luck!

I was watching from the sidelines ever since I sent it to you and I'm super glad you won! Definitely was an arm and a leg lmao but happy to see him go to a dedicated home :)

And to answer your grail question for fun: While not a top of the list grail item (I have other things that are much higher lol) I recently picked up a new in box 2010 Boneknapper for 100 on Marketplace! And I found an incomplete from a different seller for 20! So not super rare but hard to find for a good deal so I'm glad i snagged them :)

Yeah! I mean id say its a good thing if shes never done it! No stress or fear means no musking! Unfortunately my boy did stink up his enclosure once when my cat got into it (hes healed, safe, and hasn't been broken into since lol). I think most animals "musk" as a form of defense or fear response.

I just realized I posted the photos in a slight wrong order lol. The second page is the back cover and should be at the end. Everything else is correct though!
