[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1031244, member: 52972"] A lot depends on how bad the damage is to the clear coat and the cost to either repaint or just re-clear coat the damaged areas. In the end the decision is: Yes, Restoring the damaged paint will increase the value, but will it offset the cost to repair the clear-coat issues. Keep in mind that often they cannot just clear-coat over the old weathered paint...so you might be looking at repainting and then clear-coating the damaged areas. Also, often times they cannot just stop at the end of the body panel, but it will often be necessary to blend the new paint and clear-coat into the a joining panel....that can increase the cost dramatically! ...Rich [/QUOTE]
