Just FWIW...my `93 Audi suffered horribly before I finally got the owner to sell it to me. Pretty much every inch of all-but-one panel (the one I had re-repainted to actually match) is marred up or pitted or has major paint (not just clearcoat!) failure. Total POS by Autopian standards. BUT...
I did what I could and I keep it nice, and now it`s a frequently-complimented "classic". (NO you dummies, a `93 isn`t a classic, but thanks anyhow.)
The point is, that this "trashed" vehicle gets compliments from total strangers on a very regular basis in daily life/parking lots; people can`t believe its "wonderful condition". So don`t let this place/the internet fool you into being unreasonable. If you think it looks nice then it does.
Heh heh, thought of that car again because we`re discussing Oxidation; when I got it the dark blue paint was so oxidized that the service records for the last few years described it as "gray". When the same guys saw it later....heh heh heh
My tech Dale would probably buy it if his wife would get onboard, not that I`m looking to sell...
