nout wrong with keeping the bodywork in mint condition anybody who knows there stuff when buying one will see through that its had paintwork its new panels and poor accident repairs that put people off and if a bit of paint is there reason for not buying a car when well there never find 1 which hasnt had paint unless there looking for the impossible. ive had mine painted in places and redone again after stonechips id rather keep on top of my paintwork a few quid each year for a bit of a refresh is nothing to worry about get it done
